Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If Additions exceeding safety/transport purposes reclassify as organic composite solvents under Chapter 38.
Chapter 29 note (g) excludes products with additives rendering them suitable for specific uses beyond identification or safety.
If classified by alcohol component in error
Misclassification might occur under lower-numbered alcohol headings, but Chapter 29 rule prioritizes acid-function ester heading last in order.
If for use solely in paint strippers
Products prepared exclusively as paint removal compositions fall under Chapter 32 paints preparations.
