Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If diluted to standard strength for azo dye production
Chapter note (h) excludes such dilutions from Chapter 29, moving to synthetic dye couplers.
If hydroquinone derivative misidentified
Different monophenol structure would classify under earlier 2904 heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide structural formula and molecular weight to confirm naphthol parent structure over sulfonic dominance
• Ensure packaging complies with chapter note (e) if solvent-dissolved for transport
