Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when containing stabilizers or anti-dusting agents exceeding Chapter 29 allowances
Additives for safety/transport may classify it as a chemical preparation under Chapter 38 per Chapter 29 note (f)(g).
If imported specifically as insecticide/nematicide active ingredient
Insecticides containing chloropicrin as principal active are classified by end-use in heading 3808.
If considered primarily a saturated acyclic hydrocarbon derivative
Base hydrocarbon structure determines initial classification before functional group consideration.
