Alternative Classifications

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

2930.90Lower: 13.7% vs 41.5%

If containing additional organo-sulfur linkages beyond the mercapto group

Organo-sulfur compounds with sulfur directly linked to carbon fall under heading 2930 if not specifically enumerated in later headings like 2934.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 41.5%

If imported as a formulated mixture with stabilizers or solvents for safety/transport

Chapter 29 note (e) allows solutions only if solely for safety/transport; otherwise, mixtures classify under Chapter 38 as chemical preparations.
