Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derived from cyclohexane rather than maleic anhydride
Different derivation source for succinic acid changes the specific subheading within acyclic polycarboxylic acids.
If in salt form like disodium succinate
Organic salts of polycarboxylic acids classified with the parent acid, but heterocyclic derivatives shift to heading 2932.
If used as fertilizer ingredient in mineral/chemical fertilizers
End-use as fertilizer excludes it from Chapter 29 per chapter notes, moving to Chapter 31.
