Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold as a mixture with stabilizers exceeding normal transport requirements
Excess stabilizers rendering it suitable for specific use may classify under acrylic acid esters/polymers instead
If imported as formulated solution for specific industrial application
Mixtures not qualifying as normal transport solutions fall under chemical preparations of Chapter 38
If primarily methanol content with acrylic acid as additive
Alcohol-based preparations with minor acid content classified by principal alcohol component
