Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If incorrectly declared without emphasizing triazine structure
Some amine-function compounds might be misclassified under 2921, but triazine ring specificity places it last in Chapter 29 order.
If containing sugar ethers or other Chapter 29 modifications
Certain derivatives with additional Chapter 29 functions would fall under heading 2942 per classification notes.
