Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If racemic mixture rather than specified R-enantiomer
Non-specific stereoisomers of other heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen fall under the broader 2933.39 subheading instead of the enumerated specific compound.
If formulated as herbicide containing >95% pure active ingredient
Herbicides based on this compound are classified in Chapter 38 as pesticide products rather than pure chemical compounds.
If modified with stabilizers for transport but still chemically defined
Other non-enumerated aromatic heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen, including stabilized versions, go to the residual 2933.99.9700 per chapter classification rules.
