Pyrogallic Acid Flakes Industrial Grade
Industrial grade pyrogallic acid in flake form (90-95% purity) is classified as pyrogallol under HTS 2907.29.10.00. These larger flakes reduce dusting during handling, with anti-dusting agents permitted by Chapter note (g). Used in synthetic rubber antioxidant production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when used as rubber antioxidant additive in compounded form
Prepared rubber accelerators exclude from pure Chapter 29 compounds.
If flake form contains other polyphenols as impurities
Mixtures of isomers classified as 'other' if not pure pyrogallol.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare flake size and anti-dusting agent composition; prevents reclassification as mixture
• Bulk packaging requires proper ventilation declarations due to oxidation potential
• Industrial end-use documentation helps avoid retail preparation scrutiny
