Alternative Classifications

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

2916.39Same rate: 24%

If not a pure ester but acid-ester mixture

Blends not meeting 'chemically defined' criteria per chapter notes classify as other derivatives.

2903.99.80.01Lower: 15.5% vs 24%

If dechlorinated or reduced nitro groups

Loss of halogen/nitro functions changes to general halogenated/quaternized derivatives in earlier headings.

3105.30.00.00Higher: 25% vs 24%

If formulated into di ammonium salt for fertilizers

Salts with inorganic bases for ag use shift to Chapter 31 fertilizers.
