Acetaldehyde Stabilized with Hydroquinone from China
Acetaldehyde stabilized with hydroquinone to prevent polymerization is classifiable under tariff item 2912.12.00 per Chapter 29 Note 1(f). The stabilizer is added for preservation or transport and does not make the product suitable for a specific use, so it remains a separate acyclic aldehyde.

• Ensure the stabilizer is added solely for safety or transport reasons
• The CBSA may request a sample for analysis if the stabilizer level is unusual; keep batch records available
