Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If aliphatic nitrile derivative
Aliphatic nitriles are classified separately from aromatic ones in the same subheading.
If diluted for transport with solvent
Solvent-dissolved products for safety/transport may classify under mixtures if not 'normal' per chapter note (e).
If solvent renders it petroleum-based
Excessive petroleum solvents exclude from Chapter 29 per chapter exclusions.
