Alternative Classifications

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

3808.91Lower: 15% vs 35%

If insecticides or miticides, but Fluometuron is herbicide

Herbicides specifically under 3808.93, but pure actives remain in Chapter 29; formulations move to Chapter 38.

2924.29Lower: 16.5% vs 35%

If other aromatic ureines, not Fluometuron specifically

HTS 2924.21.08.00 is exclusive to Fluometuron; similar but unnamed aromatic ureine pesticides use broader 2924.21 codes.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 35%

If mixed with solvents for transport exceeding Chapter 29 note (e) limits

Solutions for safety/transport allowed in Chapter 29 only if solvent doesn't suit specific use; otherwise, chemical preparations in 3824.
