Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If untreated toluene before nitration
Parent hydrocarbon toluene classifies in 2902.30, not nitro-derivatives of 2904.
If reduced to p-toluidine (4-methylaniline)
Nitro reduction yields amine-function compound, shifting to Chapter 29 nitrogen-functions heading 2921.
If technical mixture with multiple nitrotoluenes
Non-chemically defined mixtures fall to Chapter 38 prepared binders per exclusions.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document stabilizer type and concentration (<1% typically) to prove necessity for preservation per note (f)
• Ensure temperature-controlled shipping to prevent decomposition; melting point ~54°C
• Avoid water-dissolved forms unless for safety, as note (d) specifies limited conditions
