Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when compounded with rubber or supplied as a formulated accelerator mix
Mixtures containing this compound with other substances for rubber production fall under Chapter 38 as prepared rubber accelerators, not pure organic compounds.
If diluted with solvents or additives beyond Chapter 29 allowances
Solutions or preparations exceeding the limited additives permitted in Chapter 29 note (e) are classified as chemical preparations in heading 3824.
