Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing glyphosate salt and imported as formulated herbicide product
Formulated pesticide products with specific active ingredients are classified in Chapter 38 rather than pure chemical compounds.
If classified primarily as organo-phosphorus compound
Phosphorus-containing compounds may fall under heading 2931 if the organo-inorganic nature predominates over heterocyclic structure.
