Alternative Classifications

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

2933.99.97.01Same rate: 6.5%

If pharmaceutical or veterinary intermediates

Non-pesticide benzimidazoles classify as other heterocyclics; pesticide use shifts to 2934.

2925Higher: 13.7% vs 6.5%

If imidazole carboxylic acid salts

Imidazole-4,5-dicarboxamides have specific subheading; general pesticides to 'other'.

3808.91.30.00Higher: 40% vs 6.5%

If formulated with metal salts like maneb

Herbicide or fungicide mixtures with inorganics classify under Chapter 38 salts rule.
