Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further processed into finished fragrance mixtures for retail sale
Mixtures containing phenylacetaldehyde as a scent compound shift to Chapter 33 for odoriferous preparations, excluding pure chemicals.
If imported as a formulated solution with solvents exceeding transport safety thresholds
Chapter 29 note (e) excludes solutions where solvent renders it suitable for specific use beyond general chemical purposes.
If chemically modified to a halogenated derivative
Halogenated aldehyde derivatives fall under earlier headings per Chapter 29 note on sulfonated/nitrated/halogenated compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming purity and chemical identity to verify classification under Chapter 29 note (a)
• Declare exact CAS number (122-78-1) and ensure proper Hazard Communication labeling for flammable liquids (UN 1608)
• Avoid misclassification as perfume compounds; ship in industrial packaging, not retail, to prevent reclassification under Chapter 33
