Alternative Classifications

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

2933.39Higher: 16.5% vs Free

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.

3808.93.15.00Higher: 41.5% vs Free

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.

2933.99.97.01Higher: 6.5% vs Free

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.
