## Key differences
| Option | Form | Concentration | Primary Use | Packaging Size |
|-------|------|----------------|--------------|----------------|
| 2847.00 | Solid/industrial bulk | High (e.g., 35–90%) | Industrial/chemical | Large drums |
| 3004.90 | Liquid, medicated | Low (e.g., 3%) | Medical treatment | Varies |
| 3304.99 | Liquid, retail | Low to medium | Skin care | ≤250 ml |
| 3808.94 | Liquid, ready-to-use | Medium (e.g., 6–10%) | Surface disinfection | Small to medium |
## How to choose
- Is it sold in bulk for industrial use? → 2847.00
- Is it labeled as a medicine or used for treating wounds? → 3004.90
- Is it marketed for skin care and sold in ≤250 ml containers? → 3304.99
- Is it used to disinfect surfaces, not for medical or skincare? → 3808.94
## Overlaps & pitfalls
- A 3% solution may fit both 3004.90 and 3304.99 if labeled as medicine vs. skincare.
- A 6% disinfectant in a 250 ml bottle could fall under 3304.99 or 3808.94.
- **Priority rule:** Use the product’s MAIN purpose—medical → 3004.90; personal hygiene → 3304.99; surface cleaning → 3808.94; bulk industrial → 2847.00
