Alternative Classifications

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

2930.90Higher: 13.7% vs 6.5%

If containing additional organo-sulfur linkages beyond sulfonamide

Heading 2930 covers other organo-sulfur compounds occurring later in numerical order per classification note 3.

2942.00Higher: 13.7% vs 6.5%

If for derivatives with additional heterocyclic nitrogen functions

Other organic compounds with nitrogen functions classify under 2942 if not specifically provided for earlier.

3809.91.00.00Higher: 41% vs 6.5%

If when finishing agents containing >50% active sulfonamide

Formulations for textile finishing move to Chapter 38 as finishing agents rather than pure compounds.
