α-Naphthol for Dye Synthesis from Japan
α-Naphthol specifically for dye synthesis is imported under tariff item 2907.15.00 as a pure naphthol intermediate, not as finished colouring matter. This monophenol is crucial for coupling reactions producing red azo dyes, and it qualifies under Chapter 29 note 1(a) as a separate chemically defined compound.
