Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If esterified form like OTS diethylamide for specific solvent applications
Esters of sulfonamides classify with the acid-function compound last in numerical order per note 3(A).
If blended with solvents for safe transport exceeding Chapter 29 note (e) limits
Solvent-dissolved products only qualify under Chapter 29 if solely for safety/transport without specific use adaptation.
If precursor toluenesulfonic acid rather than the amide derivative
Sulfonic acids without nitrogen function classify in earlier Chapter 29 headings.
