Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2931.90.30.00Higher: 41.5% vs 40.5%

If contains organo-metallic impurities

Organo-inorganic compounds with metals linked to carbon classify under 2931 per Chapter note, not pure epoxides.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 40.5%

If for retail packaging <5L containers

Small retail packings may classify as chemical preparations under 3824 rather than bulk industrial chemicals.

2909.60Lower: 13.7% vs 40.5%

If epoxyether structural analog

Epoxyethers (not strict three-membered epoxides) fall under separate 2909.60 heading.
