Alternative Classifications

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

2915.40.20.00Lower: 23% vs 38.7%

If imported as monochloroacetic acid rather than sodium salt

The free acid form falls under the earlier subheading for mono-, di- or trichloroacetic acids before salts.

2829.19.01.00Lower: 38.3% vs 38.7%

If for other sodium salts of inorganic acids

Misclassification occurs if not recognized as organic monocarboxylic acid derivative per Chapter 29 notes.

3808.93.15.00Higher: 41.5% vs 38.7%

If pre-formulated into herbicide mixtures

Herbicide preparations containing it as active ingredient shift to Chapter 38 for pesticidal products.
