Fluoroxypyr-meptyl ester from Japan
Fluoroxypyr-meptyl is the methylheptyl ester of fluoroxypyr, an aromatic pyridine carboxylic acid herbicide for grassy and broadleaf weeds. Though an ester, Chapter Note 5(A) classifies it with the later-heading acid (2918) as a pesticide. HTS 2918.99.2050 covers this 'other' aromatic pesticide form.
