Alternative Classifications

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

2939.79.00.00Lower: Free vs 6.5%

If containing a quaternary nitrogen atom

Quaternized pyridine derivatives like cetylpyridinium chloride classify under heading 2939 as other nitrogen heterocycles, later in numerical order per Chapter 29 note.

3808.94.10.00Higher: 31.5% vs 6.5%

If formulated as pesticide herbicide or fungicide

Pesticide formulations containing pyridine compounds as active ingredients fall under Chapter 38, not pure chemicals of Chapter 29.

3004.90Higher: 10% vs 6.5%

If put up in dosage form for retail therapeutic use

Nicotine replacement therapy products like gums or patches are medicaments of Chapter 30, not bulk chemicals.
