Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is not fully decarboxylated and remains primarily as tetrahydrocannabinolic acid
THCA itself is not a tetrahydrocannabinol isomer; it is a carboxylic acid derivative, which may fall under the residual subheading for other oxygen heterocyclic compounds.
If the product is formulated as a medicament in measured doses for retail sale
Section note 2 requires classification in heading 30.04 for goods put up in measured doses or for retail sale for therapeutic use.
