Alternative Classifications

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

2909.49Lower: 15.5% vs 40.5%

If halogenated epoxide derivative

Halogenated, sulfonated, or nitrated epoxide derivatives may classify under different 2909 subheadings per Chapter notes.

3815.90.50.00Lower: 40% vs 40.5%

If supplied as reaction accelerator mixture

When intentionally mixed as a catalyst support, classifies as reaction accelerator under 3815 rather than pure compound.

2710.12.15Lower: 25% vs 40.5%

If diluted in organic solvent >70% solvent

Chapter note (e) excludes solvent solutions where solvent renders product suitable for specific non-general use.
