Bulk Piperonal Flakes
Bulk piperonal flakes are large-quantity supplies of the chemical compound piperonal, presented in flake form for efficient melting and compounding in flavour manufacturing. Piperonal is a separate chemically defined heterocyclic compound with an oxygen hetero-atom, specifically named in tariff item 2932.93.00.
Colored Piperonal for Safety Identification
Colored piperonal is piperonal lightly tinted blue for safety identification in bulk chemical handling. Under Chapter 29 Note 1(g), the addition of a colouring substance to facilitate identification is permitted without changing classification, provided it does not make the product suitable for a specific use rather than general use.
Emetic-Added Piperonal for Safety
Emetic-added piperonal contains a trace amount of denatonium benzoate or similar emetic to prevent accidental ingestion in industrial settings. Chapter 29 Note 1(g) allows the addition of an emetic for safety reasons without affecting classification, as long as the product remains suitable for general use.
