Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If brominated or chlorinated naphthalene sulfonic acids
Halogenated derivatives classified in 2904.10 per chapter note on halogenated sulfonated compounds.
If pre-reacted into synthetic dye intermediate beyond simple sulfonation
Advanced dye chemistry products move to Chapter 32 coloring matter headings.
If organo-sulfur compounds with additional heteroatoms beyond simple sulfonation
Chapter notes exclude sulfonated derivatives from 2930 if only S directly linked to C.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide positional isomer confirmation (CAS 93-11-8) via HPLC chromatogram to prevent misclassification as beta-naphthol derivatives
• Use DOT-approved packaging for corrosive liquids; segregate from amines/bases during transport
