Alternative Classifications

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

2923.20.10.00Lower: 35% vs 38.7%

If the nitrogen function dominates over sulfur linkage

Chapter notes prioritize classification to the heading last in numerical order; quaternary ammonium sulfur compounds may shift to 2923 if nitrogen-characteristic.

2930.30.60.00Lower: 28.7% vs 38.7%

If for bulk imported as thiocarbamates if derivatized

Thiocarbamate derivatives of similar structures classify under 2930.30; end-use as pesticide intermediate changes specific subheading.

3808.93.50Higher: 40% vs 38.7%

If put up as herbicide intermediate preparation

Pesticide formulations or goods of Chapter 38 take precedence over Chapter 29 per chapter exclusions.
