Alternative Classifications

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

3808.93.15.00Higher: 41.5% vs 35%

If formulated as herbicide containing Fluometuron as active ingredient

Pesticide formulations with added carriers, stabilizers, or diluents shift from pure Chapter 29 compounds to Chapter 38 pesticide products.

2924.21Same rate: 35%

If non-aromatic ureine pesticide, not specifically Fluometuron

Chapter 29 structure prioritizes last numerical heading, but non-aromatic ureines classify separately from aromatic ones like Fluometuron.

2942.00.10.00Higher: 41.5% vs 35%

If imported as organic salt derivative of Fluometuron

Per Chapter 29 note on salts, organic salts of ureines classify with the base organic compound, but may shift if coordination compounds form.
