Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If peroxide content >0.1% after stabilization
Ketone peroxides and epoxides specifically excluded from 2932 by Chapter note 5
If technical grade >99.5% purity without stabilizer
Ether function classification under 2909 takes precedence for unstabilized THF
If aqueous solution 65-75% THF
Aqueous THF mixtures exceed Chapter 29 solvent exceptions of note 2(d)

Import Tips & Compliance
• Stabilizer must be <0.025% BHT; higher concentrations trigger 3824 reclassification
• Peroxide test certificates required for all THF imports regardless of stabilization
• DOT shipping papers must specify 'stabilized THF UN2924' for proper hazmat handling
