Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If formulated as herbicide containing other additives
Finished herbicide products with 2,4,5-T as active ingredient fall under Chapter 38 for pesticides, not pure compounds.
If imported as mixture of isomers or with impurities exceeding chapter limits
Mixtures of multiple organic compounds may shift to heterocyclic compounds or other categories if not purely chemically defined under Chapter 29 notes.
