If as formulated seed treatment product

Goods put up as pesticide articles or preparations containing thiram fall under Chapter 38.

2930.20.10.00Same rate: 41.5%

If classified primarily as thiocarbamate function

Certain thiuram compounds may classify under earlier organo-sulfur subheadings based on principal function.

2930.90.29.00Lower: 31.5% vs 41.5%

If when used as rubber accelerator rather than pesticide

Same compound has dual uses; non-pesticide applications fall under general aromatic organo-sulfur.
