Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sulfonated or further chemically modified
Ether-alcohol derivatives or sulfonated forms shift to Chapter 29 organic derivatives rather than base mixed alkylbenzenes.
If when imported as fertilizer additive mixture
Formulations containing alkylbenzenes mixed with other fertilizer components classify under Chapter 38 miscellaneous mixtures.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain manufacturer's specification sheet confirming linear isomer content >95% to distinguish from branched alkylbenzenes; prepare for CBP review of molecular weight distribution; ensure proper UN packaging certification for flammable liquid transport
