Mecoprop (MCPP) Technical Grade
Mecoprop, chemically 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid, is a synthetic auxin herbicide used for selective broadleaf weed control in turf and lawns. It falls under HTS 2918.99.1400 as a chemically defined aromatic carboxylic acid with additional oxygen function in the phenoxy group. This technical grade is the pure active ingredient before formulation.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when formulated as herbicide containing mecoprop as active ingredient
Formulated herbicides with mecoprop fall under Chapter 38 as pesticide preparations, not pure chemical compounds.
If chemically modified or different substitution pattern on phenoxy ring
Other aromatic carboxylic acids with oxygen function but not the specific 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic structure classify here.
If when imported as mecoprop salt with non-organic cation
Certain organo-inorganic salts of carboxylic acids may classify under heterocyclic compounds if structure fits Chapter 29 notes.
