Alternative Classifications

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

2930.90.29.00Higher: 31.5% vs 3.7%

If imported as other thiocarbamates or dithiocarbamates rather than simple thioethers

Different organo-sulfur functional groups have specific earlier subheadings within 2930.

3824.99Higher: 15% vs 3.7%

If imported as a chemical mixture or preparation containing thiodiglycol

Mixtures not qualifying as separate compounds under Chapter 29 notes fall into Chapter 38 prepared binders.

2909.60.20.00Higher: 40.5% vs 3.7%

If considered a monohydric alcohol derivative without sulfur classification

Alcohol function might dominate if sulfur linkage doesn't meet organo-sulfur definition, but Chapter 29 rules prioritize last numerical heading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain ATF import license as thiodiglycol is a List I chemical regulated under chemical diversion laws

Provide detailed safety data sheets (SDS) and end-use statements to clear customs without delays

Label containers properly to distinguish from mixtures; pure thiodiglycol stays in 2930, diluted forms may shift headings
