Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing impurities exceeding 1% or not separately defined
Chapter 29 prioritizes last numerical heading; other aromatic nitriles without specific subheading go to 2926.90.43.
If formulated as herbicide intermediate mixture
Mixtures for pesticide use shift to Chapter 38; pure compounds remain in Chapter 29 per exclusions.
If imported as part of heterocyclic pesticide synthesis set
Sets with heterocyclic components classified last in Chapter 29 numerical order under note 3(K).
