Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If minor impurities exceed Chapter note tolerances
Other aromatic heterocyclic compounds with oxygen only, not specifically named, use the residual subheading.
If insecticides rather than herbicides
If pesticidal use shifts to insect control, it may fall under different pesticide subheadings in 3808.
If classified by sulfonate ester function
Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters could apply if heterocyclic ring not considered principal.
