Alternative Classifications

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

2926.90.43.00Lower: 31.5% vs 41.5%

If containing added anti-dusting agent for identification

Chapter 29 note (g) permits additives for safety/identification without changing classification if not rendering specific use; excess additives may shift to other nitriles.

2933.39.61Lower: 6.5% vs 41.5%

If imported as part of heterocyclic compound synthesis intermediate

If chemically modified or viewed as precursor to heterocycles, it moves to heading 2933 per numerical order rule in Chapter notes.

2904Lower: 13.7% vs 41.5%

If for sulfonated or nitrosated derivative forms

Chapter notes specify halogenated/nitrated derivatives stay with parent, but compound derivatives like sulfohalogenated may classify under 2904 oxygen-function aromatics.
