Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing metal coordination compounds
Chapter note 3(C)(3) classifies coordination compounds in last numerical heading, but simple acid salts follow parent alkaloid.
If when pesticide-formulated, not pure
Pure compounds stay in Chapter 29; formulations for specific uses move to Chapter 38.
