Alternative Classifications

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

2921.49Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If monofunctional aromatic amine rather than polyamine

Chapter notes require two or more amino groups for polyamine classification.

2902.30.00.00Lower: 35% vs 41.5%

If crude technical grade with >50% purity

Less pure aromatic amines may classify as toluene derivatives in heading 2902.

3824.99.39Lower: 35% vs 41.5%

If technical grade mixtures with isomers

Isomer mixtures not meeting specific compound criteria classify as preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit end-use statements for TDI production to support chemical classification

Monitor for carcinogenic impurity limits (e.g

4,4'-MDA) per FDA/EPA regulations

Use UN-approved packaging for toxic liquid amine hydrochloride forms
