Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported under different trade name but chemically identical
Other organo-sulfur compounds not specifically enumerated fall under the residual 2930.90.9190 subheading.
If dissolved in solvent for transport exceeding Chapter 29 note (e) limits
Solutions rendered suitable for specific use beyond safety/transport classify in Chapter 38 as chemical preparations.
If ester function predominates over sulfur linkage in classification analysis
Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters take precedence if sulfur doesn't define the principal characteristic.

Import Tips & Compliance
โข Provide detailed chemical analysis and CAS number (123-81-9) to confirm identity and purity for CBP classification
โข Include safety data sheets (SDS) documenting stabilizer content to comply with Chapter 29 note (f) on transport additives
โข Avoid misclassification as a finished formulation; import as pure compound to prevent duty shifts to Chapter 38
