Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-formulated enteric coating dispersion
Medicament-coated preparations classify under Chapter 30, not bulk chemicals.
If longer chain alkyl methacrylate
C3+ alkyl esters fall under 'other' methacrylic esters subheading.
If diagnostic reagent formulation
Lab diagnostic reagents classify under Chapter 38 regardless of purity.
