Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing metal coordination beyond simple salt
Coordination compounds with cleaved metal bonds classify to later heading per note on salts.
If it's the sulfonyl fluoride derivative
PFOS sulfonyl fluoride has separate prior subheading; pure salts are 'other'.
If formulated as finishing agents for textiles
If put up for specific use like textile finishing, moves to chapter 38 per exclusions.
