Alternative Classifications

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

3812.10Lower: 15% vs 17.5%

If supplied pre-mixed with zinc salts or other vulcanization activators

Composite accelerators containing dibutylthiourea as principal component but with additives shift to 3812 as formulated rubber chemicals.

2930.90.29.00Higher: 31.5% vs 17.5%

If certified as aromatic thiourea derivative despite dibutyl substitution

Other specified organo-sulfur compounds in 2930.90.29 may apply if Customs interprets butyl chains differently from enumerated dibutylthiourea.

3824.99.39Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If technical grade with stabilizer additives for transport stability

Chapter 29 note (f) allows stabilizers only if necessary for preservation; excess additives make it a preparation of 3824.
