Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If meeting benzaldehyde chemical specification erroneously
Benzaldehyde has specific subheading; misidentification leads to wrong 10-digit code.
If classified as saturated acyclic hydrocarbon derivative
Principal function determines heading; aldehydes classified separately from hydrocarbons.
If for ketone-aldehyde mixtures where ketone dominates
Oxygen function classification follows numerical order; ketones in 2914 supersede if principal.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit technical data sheets showing aldehyde content and absence of alcohol/ketone impurities
• Use stainless steel containers; declare Flash Point 12°C for DOT compliance
• Confirm not dissolved in solvents for specific end-use, avoiding Chapter 29 note (e) exclusion
