Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If organo-arsenic or other metal compounds mixed
Organo-inorganic compounds with additional nonmetals/metals link to carbon go to other 2931 subheadings.
If prepared as chemical mixtures for specific industrial use
Complex mixtures not purely chemically defined fall under Chapter 38 prepared binders or chemicals.
If ether-function or alcohol derivative form
Derivatives with oxygen functions shift to later headings per Chapter 29 classification notes.
