    <title>Classification of product as organic surface-active agent (surfactant) under CTH 3402; held classifiable at CTH 3402 4200 pending import verification</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=95984</link>
    <description>Whether the product qualifies as an &quot;Organic Surface-Active Agent&quot; under CTH 3402: applying HSN explanatory notes and Chapter 34 Note 3, such agents are chemical compounds with hydrophilic/hydrophobic functional groups that, at 0.5% in water at 20Â°C, form a stable homogeneous (transparent or translucent) solution/emulsion with no naked-eye separation after one hour and reduce distilled-water surface tension to â‰¤4.5Ã—10-2 N/m; on the facts supplied the product meets those criteria. Outcome: the product is classifiable under Heading 3402, specifically CTH 3402 4200 as a non-ionic surfactant, subject to verification at import. - AAR</description>
