Aluminum Aspirin Glycinate from China
Aluminum Aspirin Glycinate is a coordination compound formed between aluminum, O-acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and glycine, used as an active ingredient in sustained-release tablet formulations. Under Section VI Note 1(B) and Chapter 29 Note 5(C)(3), coordination compounds are classified with the organic fragment that occurs last in numerical order, which here is O-acetylsalicylic acid (heading 29.18). It is therefore classified under tariff item 2918.22.00 as a salt of O-acetylsalicylic acid.
