Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not exactly matching the three named compounds
Other aromatic ethers and derivatives fall into the basket provision 2909.30.9000 if not specifically enumerated.
If primarily imported for o-toluidine production rather than as ether
Nitroaromatic compounds with amino function potential may shift to Chapter 29 nitrogen function headings based on principal use.
If imported as mixture with solvents exceeding transport allowances
Solutions exceeding Chapter 29 note (e) solvent limits for safety/transport become mixtures of Chapter 38.
