Butanal with 0.1% Hydroquinone Stabilizer
Normal butanal stabilized with 0.1% hydroquinone to prevent polymerization during storage and transport. Remains classified as pure butanal under HTS 2912.19.25.00 since stabilizer is necessary for preservation per Chapter 29 note (f). Used in flavor/fragrance synthesis.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hydroquinone content creates phenolic function dominance
Mixtures emphasizing phenol functions classify in 2915; stabilizer must remain incidental per Chapter note.
If odoriferous substance added for fragrance identification
Flavor/fragrance preparations with added odorants exceeding identification purposes classify in Chapter 32.
If stabilizer renders it no longer 'normal isomer' pure
Any deviation from pure normal butanal isomer falls under general 'other acyclic aldehydes' subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document stabilizer as <1% and solely for preservation; excess renders it a mixture under 3824.99
• Include polymerization inhibitor specification sheet matching industry standards for flavor chemical imports
• Segregate from oxidizing agents in shipping manifests to prevent reaction per IMDG Code
