Alternative Classifications

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

2930.90Lower: 13.7% vs 38.7%

If containing additional heteroatoms like nitrogen not part of the named structure

Other organo-sulfur compounds not specifically named under 2930.60 fall into 2930.90; classification follows the last numerical heading per chapter notes.

2921.19.11.00Lower: 28.7% vs 38.7%

If imported as hydrochloride salt for stability

Inorganic salts of organic compounds are classified with the parent organic compound per chapter note 3(C)(1), but amino acid derivatives may shift to Chapter 29 heading 2921.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 38.7%

If dissolved in solvent for transport with >20% impurities

Solutions exceeding chapter note (e) limits or with preparations not solely for safety/transport classify as mixtures in Chapter 38 rather than pure organic compounds.
