Alternative Classifications

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

2916.39Lower: 16.5% vs 40.5%

If imported as mixture or technical grade below analytical purity

Less pure forms may classify under the parent phenylacetic acid heading rather than as a defined derivative.

2921.42Lower: 16.5% vs 40.5%

If when used primarily as aniline derivative intermediate

Certain nitroaromatic acids with amine functionality may shift to nitrogen-function compounds in Chapter 29 heading 2921.
