Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If formulated as insecticide containing phorate as active ingredient
Formulated pesticides with phorate fall under Chapter 38 heading 3808 for insecticides, not pure organo-sulfur compounds of Chapter 29.
If classified as organo-phosphorus rather than organo-sulfur compound
While phorate has both P-S and S-C bonds, primary classification considers sulfur functionality under 2930; phosphorus emphasis might shift to 2931.
If imported in dilute solution exceeding transport-only concentration limits
Chapter 29 note (e) excludes solutions where solvent renders product suitable for specific use beyond safety/transport.
