Alternative Classifications

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

2833.29Lower: 13.7% vs 28.7%

If imported primarily as heavy metal precipitant

Sulfide-based compounds used principally as water treatment chemicals classify under inorganic sulfides rather than organo-sulfur rubber accelerators.

2930.90Lower: 13.7% vs 28.7%

If for non-rubber industrial applications

Other organo-sulfur compounds not principally for rubber processing fall under the residual 2930.90 subheading.

3824Lower: 15% vs 28.7%

If as aqueous solution for multiple uses

Chapter 29 note (d) excludes solutions where solvent renders product suitable for specific uses beyond general chemical applications.
