Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If naphthalene derivative without emphasized ether function
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons take precedence if ether not principal function.
If used primarily as synthetic dye intermediate
Dye intermediates may classify under Chapter 32 if specific use established.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit structural formula and IUPAC name to demonstrate aromatic ether principal characteristic
• Package in nitrogen-blanketed containers to prevent oxidation during import transit
• Verify no sulfonated derivatives present, as those would require different subheading
