Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing more than one kind of oxygen function
Compounds like diethanolamine with additional hydroxyl groups fall under other amino-alcohols in 2922.19.
If aqueous solution exceeding 50% concentration for specific industrial use
Solutions not qualifying as normal transport form per Chapter 29 note (d) classify as chemical preparations in Chapter 38.
If chemically combined as urea-ammonium nitrate solution component
Specific fertilizer mixtures with organic nitrogen compounds are excluded and classified in Chapter 31.
