Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If misdeclared as primary inorganic chloride
Chapter note 3(C)(1) mandates classification with organic parent, not inorganic chapter 28.
If considered unsubstituted aniline
Salts of unsubstituted aniline have specific heading 2921.11 provision.
If complex coordination compound salt
Chapter note 3(C)(3) requires classification by latest numerical heading for metal-organic coordination compounds.
