5,5-Diethylbarbituric Acid Intermediate
Pure barbituric acid used as an intermediate for synthesizing 5,5-diethylbarbituric acid (barbital). It is a separate chemically defined organic compound with a pyrimidine ring, falling under tariff item 2933.52.00 as malonylurea (barbituric acid) and its salts.
Barbituric Acid
Barbituric acid (malonylurea) is a heterocyclic compound with a pyrimidine ring, serving as the core scaffold for barbiturate pharmaceuticals. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound, classifiable under tariff item 2933.52.00.
Barbituric Acid Aqueous Solution
Barbituric acid dissolved in water, as permitted by Chapter 29 note (d). The aqueous solution is a normal method of putting up for safety or transport, and the solvent does not render it suitable for specific use, so it remains classifiable under tariff item 2933.52.00.
Barbituric Acid (pure)
Malonylurea, also known as barbituric acid, is the parent pyrimidine heterocyclic compound. It is directly classifiable under tariff item 2933.52.00 as the base compound and its salts, per the tariff description.
Barbituric Acid Technical Grade
Technical grade malonylurea (90-95% purity) for industrial synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and agrochemicals. Despite lower purity, it qualifies as a separate chemically defined compound under Chapter 29 note (a), classifiable under tariff item 2933.52.00.
Barbituric Acid with Stabilizer
Barbituric acid containing an added stabilizer necessary for preservation during transport, as permitted by Chapter 29 note (f). The stabilizer does not render it suitable for specific use, so it remains classifiable under tariff item 2933.52.00.
