Alternative Classifications

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

2932.20.50.50Same rate: 3.7%

If not specifically 'Butyrolactone' but another lactone variant

HTS 2932.20.50 has sub-specificity; other lactones fall under residual .50.50.

3814.00.50Higher: 41% vs 3.7%

If with organic composite solvents

Lactones formulated as organic solvent composites shift to Chapter 38 organic composites.

2904.20.30.00Higher: 40.5% vs 3.7%

If for sultones/sulfones if sulfur present

Sulfur-containing cyclic compounds classified earlier in 2904, not lactone oxygen-only.
