Alternative Classifications

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

2918.29.20.00Lower: 31.5% vs 36%

If organic salt rather than inorganic

Note 3(C)(2) organic salts follow base/acid last in order, potentially shifting subheading.

2837.19.01Lower: 17.5% vs 36%

If classified as general sodium carboxylate

Generic salt headings sometimes applied ignoring chapter 29 organic compound priority.

3105.90.00Lower: 25% vs 36%

If marketed as mineral/organic fertilizer

Fertilizer applications shift to Chapter 31 despite organic acid origin.
