Alternative Classifications

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

2931.59.00Same rate: 13.7%

If not specifically enumerated as O-Pinacolyl variant

Other halogenated organo-phosphorus derivatives fall here when lacking the exact pinacolyl structure, per subheading specificity.

2853Lower: 12.8% vs 13.7%

If primarily considered a phosphorous halide without organic carbon linkage

Chapter 28 covers inorganic phosphorous halides; shifts if organic components don't dominate the chemical identity.

2931.90.30.00Higher: 41.5% vs 13.7%

If sold as a mixture with stabilizers for transport

Organo-inorganic compounds with added stabilizers classify under this if not purely chemically defined per Chapter 29 note (f).
