Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If impure beyond 'whether or not containing impurities' threshold
Excess impurities may classify as halogenated mixtures under 2903 rather than pure derivatives.
If for formulated solutions with added stabilizers > permitted levels
Exceeds Chapter 29 note (f) stabilizer allowance, becoming chemical preparation.
