Alternative Classifications

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

2934.99.12Higher: 6.5% vs 3.7%

If imported for pesticide manufacture

Nucleic acid derivative functions classify under 2934 when specific end-use predominates

2929.90Higher: 16.5% vs 3.7%

If marketed as amine derivative

Chapter notes exclude nitro/nitroso but amine functions may classify under 2929 if oxygen secondary

3812Higher: 15% vs 3.7%

If pre-mixed rubber accelerator

Prepared rubber accelerators containing >30% morpholine fall under Chapter 38
