2-Nitrophenol
2-Nitrophenol is a nitrated derivative of phenol featuring a nitro group (-NO2) at the ortho position, making it a classic example of 'other nitrophenols' under HTS 2908.99.25.00. It appears as yellow crystals with a distinct odor and is used primarily as an intermediate in dye, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical synthesis.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If halogenated (e.g., chlorinated or brominated)
Halogenated phenol derivatives precede nitrophenols in numerical order per Chapter 29 note 3, taking precedence.
If containing additional amino groups (amino-nitrophenols)
Amino-function compounds classified in Chapter 29 heading 2922 supersede simple nitrophenols under note 3.
If monophenols without nitro substitution
Unsubstituted or differently functionalized phenols fall under heading 2907.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, IR spectra) to confirm nitro group position and purity, as misclassification as isomer mixtures can occur
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and transport certificates, noting its classification as UN 2668 hazardous material
• Verify absence of sulfonation or halogenation to avoid reclassification under earlier 2908 subheadings
