Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing more than one kind of oxygen function
Products with additional oxygen groups like ethers or esters shift to the 'other' amino-alcohol category in the same heading.
If imported as a formulated mixture for specific use
Mixtures exceeding simple solutions or stabilizers fall under prepared chemical preparations, not pure compounds.
If pre-formulated into retail cleaning products
When put up for retail sale as detergents, it classifies as organic surface-active preparations rather than the base chemical.
