Alternative Classifications

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

2904.20.50.00Same rate: 40.5%

If single purified isomer like p-nitrotoluene

Specific isomers may have dedicated statistical suffixes within aromatic nitrated hydrocarbons.

2921.42Lower: 16.5% vs 40.5%

If further derived with additional nitrogen functions

Aniline derivatives or toluidines from nitro reduction classify as nitrogen-function compounds.

2710.19.11Lower: 25% vs 40.5%

If purity <95% and considered hydrocarbon mixture

Lower purity nitro compounds may revert to petroleum distillates classification.
