Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as polycyclic hydrocarbon
Naphthalene derivatives without prominent sulfur function may remain in Chapter 29 hydrocarbons.
If sulfonamide derivative
Sulfonamide-functional naphthalene compounds shift to specific 2930.40 provision.
If technical grade with stabilizers
Stabilized preparations for industrial use may classify as Chapter 38 chemical preparations.
