Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If considered cyclic hydrocarbon derivative
Some alkyl pyridines might be argued as aromatic hydrocarbons under 2902, but nitrogen hetero-atom defines Chapter 29 classification.
If containing directly linked sulfur
Organo-sulfur pyridine compounds classify under 2930, later heading per Chapter note on numerical order.
If >70% pure light oil mixture
Pyridine bases in coal tar/light oil mixtures fall under Chapter 27 petroleum distillates.
