Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as ether-alcohol rather than peroxide
Preceding heading for ether-alcohols; peroxide function must be principal characteristic per chapter classification rules.
If for technical grade with multiple impurities
Mixtures not chemically defined fall under Chapter 38 preparations; purity threshold determines classification.
If hydroperoxide acid derivatives
If oxidation state or functional group analysis prioritizes acid derivative over peroxide.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide CAS registry number (80-15-9 related structures) and technical data sheet confirming aromatic peroxide identity
• Ensure inhibitor/stabilizer content <0.1% to maintain pure compound status under Chapter 29 notes
• Declare proper shipping name 'Organic peroxide type D, liquid' for customs and transport compliance

Cumene Hydroperoxide
Cumene hydroperoxide is an aromatic ketone peroxide used primarily as an initiator in polymerization reactions for producing polystyrene and other resins. It falls under HTS 2909.60.20.00 as an aromatic ketone peroxide, chemically defined with the peroxide group characteristic of this heading. The 'Other' subheading applies since it is not specifically enumerated elsewhere in the aromatic peroxides category.
tert-Butyl Peroxybenzoate
