Alternative Classifications

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

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 31.5%

If excessive additives for specific end-use

Additives rendering product suitable for particular uses (beyond safety) classify as chemical preparations.

2921.11.00Higher: 38.7% vs 31.5%

If lower molecular weight ethylenediamine

Shorter chain acyclic monoamines classify earlier in 2921.11, but TEPA's polyamine structure requires 2921.29.

3909Lower: 16.3% vs 31.5%

If pre-polymerized into polyamide form

Polymerized polyamines become amino-resins classifiable in Chapter 39 heading 3909.
