Alternative Classifications

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

2916.39Same rate: 24%

If containing added impurities exceeding chapter note tolerances

Chapter notes limit to chemically defined compounds; impure mixtures may fall under general 'other' aromatic acid derivatives.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 24%

If dissolved in solvents for transport with >20% solvent content

Solutions exceeding safety/transport thresholds per chapter note (e) become mixtures classifiable as chemical preparations in Chapter 38.

2942.00Lower: 13.7% vs 24%

If its salts, such as sodium 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoate

Organic acid salts classified with the parent acid per note 3(C)(1), but if coordination complexes form, follows last numerical order rule.
