Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is used primarily as a dye intermediate rather than pharmaceutical
Amino-naphthols and other amino-phenols with one oxygen function fall under heading 2922.29, but the quinone structure of this product makes 2922.39 more specific.
If imported as a synthetic organic colouring matter
Chapter 29 note 2(g) excludes synthetic organic colouring matter of heading 32.04, so if the product is imported as a dye, it would be classified there.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is accompanied by a certificate of analysis confirming purity above 99.5% to support classification as a chemically defined compound
• Verify whether the pharmaceutical intermediate use requires a Drug Establishment Licence from Health Canada
• Keep records of the manufacturing process to demonstrate it is not put up for retail sale, which could shift classification
