Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when imported primarily as rubber vulcanization accelerator
Organo-sulfur compounds used in rubber processing classify under heading 2930, not pesticides.
If in fungicidal formulations with adjuvants
Prepared fungicides containing benzothiazole derivatives fall under Chapter 38 pesticide preparations.
If other heterocyclic pesticides without benzothiazole
Pesticides from different heterocyclic families use the residual 2934.99 provision.
