Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blended with other emulsifiers for industrial formulations
Blends or preparations of fatty acid esters not chemically defined as single compounds fall under Chapter 38 as industrial fatty mixtures.
If imported as purified oleic acid derivative without glycerol emphasis
Pure unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters may classify under their acid heading per chapter notes prioritizing later numerical order.
