Alternative Classifications

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

2910.90Same rate: 40.5%

If aliphatic rather than aromatic

Aliphatic epoxides with three-membered rings fall under the 'other' aliphatic subheading.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 40.5%

If imported as formulated resin diluent mixture

Mixtures containing >70% epoxides by weight are classified as prepared binders under Chapter 38.

2909.30.60.00Lower: 30.5% vs 40.5%

If sold as a commercial epoxy resin component

Higher-order epoxy compounds may shift to aromatic ether headings based on principal function.
