Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixture of o- and p-nitrotoluene isomers
Mixtures of nitrotoluene isomers fall under 2904.20.25.00 per Chapter 29 note (b), while pure p-nitrotoluene is specifically 2904.20.10.00.
If contains additional halogen substituents
Halogenated nitro-derivatives are classified under 2904.90, as halogenation changes the derivative type per Chapter 29 notes.
If dissolved in solvents for retail or specific use
Solutions not solely for safety/transport fall outside Chapter 29 per note (e), moving to mixtures of Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure UN-approved packaging for Class 6.1 toxic substances during import
• Verify purity certificates to confirm it meets the chemical definition under Chapter 29 note (a) as a separate chemically defined compound
• Avoid misclassification by confirming no sulfonation or halogenation, which would shift to other subheadings
