Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as part of a formulated pesticide mixture
Mixtures of organic pesticides not purely chemically defined fall under Chapter 29 heterocyclic compounds per chapter notes excluding pure compounds.
If for retail-packaged end-use insecticide products
Pesticides put up for retail sale are classified in Chapter 38, not as pure chemical compounds of Chapter 29.
If de-halogenated or lacking full ketone oxygen function
Halogenated derivatives without the specific ketone structure in 2914 move to general halogenated hydrocarbons in heading 2903.
