Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If dinitro or polynitro toluene
Multiple nitro groups classify under 2904.90 nitrated derivatives beyond mononitro specifics.
If cyclized or reacted into other oxygen functions
Secondary processing introducing new functions moves out of simple nitro-derivatives per Chapter notes.
If US goods returned after nitration abroad
Returned US articles after processing may qualify for duty-free under Chapter 98 provisions.
