Alternative Classifications

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

2931Lower: 13.7% vs 41.5%

If classified as other organo-inorganic compounds without sulfur linkage

If the sulfur component is not recognized as defining the organo-sulfur nature, it may shift to organo-inorganic phosphorus compounds.

2930.90Same rate: 41.5%

If for other organo-sulfur pesticide compounds not matching the specific phosphorus structure

Broader residual category for organo-sulfur pesticides if the exact phosphorus-methyl restriction is not met.

3808.93.15.00Same rate: 41.5%

If imported as a formulated pesticide product rather than pure compound

Formulated insecticides containing this compound as active ingredient fall under Chapter 38 for pesticides.
