Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If aromatic ≤25% exactly
Subheading 3814.00.20.00 requires strictly more than 25% aromatic content.
If water-thinnable paint solvent
Aqueous-based reducers classify with water-based paints in Chapter 32.
If specialty low-VOC formulation
Exempt solvent blends (acetone, etc.) may classify as chemical preparations NESOI.
