Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is actually cinnamaldehyde rather than the imine derivative
Aldehydes are classified in heading 29.12, and the imine must be distinct from the starting aldehyde.
If the imine is cyclized into a nitrogen-containing ring structure
Cyclic imines with nitrogen heteroatoms are classified under heading 29.33.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the purity and chemical identity of cinnamaldimine with a certificate of analysis, as it must be a separate chemically defined compound for 2925.29.00
• If used in food flavoring, ensure compliance with Health Canada regulations, but this does not affect tariff classification
• Provide the synthesis route to CBSA if requested to verify it is not a mixture
