Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If di- or saturated other than chloroacetic
Other saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters without trichloroacetic specificity classify later in 2915.90.
If classified primarily as halogenated alcohol derivative
If ester linkage emphasizes alcohol component over acid, it may fall under halogenated acyclic alcohols.
