Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If diluted with solvents beyond transport safety limits
Solutions exceeding Chapter 29 note (e) limits for solvents move to Chapter 38 as pesticide preparations.
If organo-sulfur emphasis over heterocycle
Organo-sulfur compounds with sulfur directly linked to carbon may classify under heading 2930 if sulfur function predominates.
If for industrial chemical mixtures not primarily pesticidal
Mixtures of organic chemicals not meeting pure compound criteria fall under chemical preparations in 3824.
