Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as a mixture with solvents for safe transport
Solutions in solvents for safety/transport fall under 2903 per Chapter 29 note (e), provided solvent doesn't confer specific use.
If when supplied as a formulated reagent mixture rather than pure compound
Chemical preparations not elsewhere specified in Chapter 29 are classified in 3824, excluding pure compounds of note (a).
If the trifluoromethyl group alters principal function to monophenols
Other halogenated monophenols not specifically provided for may shift to 2907 per relative specificity and Chapter 29 note 3.
