Alternative Classifications

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

3811.90.00.00Higher: 41.5% vs 38.7%

If supplied as component in anti-knock preparations or additives for fuels

Functional mixtures for specific uses beyond pure compounds classify in 3811.

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 38.7%

If declassified from PFOS structure to general halogenated hydrocarbons

Loss of sulfonate function would revert to parent 2903 fluorocarbon classification.
