Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as immunological products or vaccine components
Chapter note excludes immunological products of heading 3002; pure alkaloid salts remain in Chapter 29.
If for other alkaloid salts not specifically named in 2939.45
Specific subheading 2939.45 takes precedence over the residual 2939.99 per numerical order rule in chapter notes.
