Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2930.90Lower: 13.7% vs 40.5%

If containing organo-sulfur compounds with metals or other nonmetals

Chapter notes exclude sulfonyl chlorides from 2930 if they qualify as sulfonated derivatives under 2904.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 40.5%

If imported as a formulated mixture or solution beyond Chapter 29 allowances

Solutions only allowed if for safety/transport and not for specific use (Chapter note e); otherwise classified as mixtures.

2904Same rate: 40.5%

If other sulfonated derivatives not specifically benzenesulfonyl chloride

Specific provision for benzenesulfonyl chloride takes precedence over residual other sulfo derivatives.
