Alternative Classifications

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

2915.90.50Higher: 28.8% vs 6.5%

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).

3824.99.39Higher: 35% vs 6.5%

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.

2902.50.00.00Higher: 35% vs 6.5%

If precursor toluenesulfonic acid rather than the amide derivative

Sulfonic acids without nitrogen function classify in earlier Chapter 29 headings.
