Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lacking benzothiazole ring but still a pesticide
Pesticides without specific heterocyclic ring systems like benzothiazole classify under other heterocyclic compounds heading.
If when imported as formulated pesticide product
Formulated insecticides containing >95% thiamethoxam move to Chapter 38 as pesticide preparations, not pure compounds.
If classified primarily as oxygen heterocyclic
Alternative heterocyclic classification if oxygen functions dominate over benzothiazole ring per chapter notes.
