2,4-Dinitro-o-cresol
2,4-Dinitro-o-cresol is a dinitrated derivative of ortho-cresol (2-methylphenol), excluding the 4,6-isomer, used in pesticidal formulations and as a chemical intermediate. Classified under HTS 2908.99.3300 as a nitrated phenol-alcohol per Chapter 29 scope for halogenated/nitrated phenol derivatives. Its two nitro groups on the phenolic ring distinguish it from simpler phenols.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mononitrated o-cresol variant like 4-nitro-m-cresol only
Subheading specifies dinitro-o-cresols and 4-nitro-m-cresol; single nitro shifts to other 2908 categories by numerical order
If containing heterocyclic ring from synthesis impurities
Chapter notes exclude certain ring structures from 2933, but impurities could trigger if exceeding chemically defined limits
If used as fertilizer additive in formulated product
End-use in fertilizers moves to Chapter 31, excluding Chapter 29 pure compounds

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label with exact isomer specification to match subheading exclusion of 4,6-DNOC; ensure no added stabilizers render it specific-use per note (g)
• Conduct stability tests for transport; declare as pure compound to avoid 3824 reclassification

2,6-Dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC)
2,6-Dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) is a nitrated derivative of o-cresol, specifically a dinitro-o-cresol excluding 4,6-DNOC, used primarily as an acaricide and insecticide in agriculture. It falls under HTS 2908.99.3300 as a nitrated phenol derivative per Chapter 29 notes for chemically defined organic compounds with nitro groups. These compounds are classified here due to their phenolic structure and nitration, distinct from excluded items like coloring matters.
4-Nitro-m-cresol
4-Nitro-m-cresol (4-nitro-3-methylphenol) is a mononitrated meta-cresol derivative used in synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as a pesticide intermediate. It qualifies for HTS 2908.99.3300 explicitly as listed in the subheading for nitrated phenols other than certain dinitro variants. Chapter 29 notes confirm classification for nitrosated/nitrated phenol derivatives.
6-Nitro-o-cresol
6-Nitro-o-cresol is a nitrated ortho-cresol isomer serving as an intermediate in agrochemical and explosive synthesis. Though not dinitro, it aligns under HTS 2908.99.3300's scope for specified nitrocresols like 4-nitro-m-cresol. Fits Chapter 29 as a chemically defined nitrated phenol derivative.
2-Nitro-o-cresol Technical Grade
Technical grade 2-nitro-o-cresol contains minor impurities but remains a chemically defined nitrated o-cresol for pesticide manufacturing. Classified in HTS 2908.99.3300 as it matches dinitro-o-cresols exclusion criteria and 4-nitro-m-cresol listing. Chapter 29 note (a) allows impurities if chemically defined.
