Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is a lactone (cyclic ester) rather than a ketone
Heading 29.32 covers lactones, but xanthen-9-one is a ketone, not a lactone.

Import Tips & Compliance
• For laboratory research quantities, consider whether the product qualifies for end-use or research exemptions under the Customs Tariff
• Keep records of the intended research use to present to the CBSA if requested
• Ensure the product is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale, as that would shift classification per Section VI Note 2
