Alternative Classifications

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

2915.90.10Lower: 30% vs 41.5%

If containing significant saturated acid components

Blends with saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid peroxides shift to heading 2915 rather than staying in aromatic 2916.

3815.90.50.00Lower: 40% vs 41.5%

If pre-formulated as reaction initiator for retail

When put up in retail packaging as a complete polymerization catalyst system, classifies as a chemical reaction initiator in Chapter 38.

2924.29.43.00Same rate: 41.5%

If derivatives with primary amide functionality

Benzoyl peroxide compounds modified with nitrogen-function groups like carboxamides move to Chapter 2924 headings.
