Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If acetylated derivative (4-acetoxybenzaldehyde) present
Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters classified in 2915 per Chapter note 5(A).
If supplied as sodium salt (sodium p-hydroxybenzaldehyde)
Chapter note 5(C)(1) classifies inorganic salts with organic phenols under the organic compound heading.
If imported as reaction mixture with <95% purity
Prepared chemical mixtures not meeting 'separate chemically defined' criteria fall to Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Batch testing required for isomeric purity (<0.1% o-hydroxybenzaldehyde) to maintain specific classification
• Declare melting point range 115-117°C in commercial invoice for authenticity verification
• Avoid wooden packaging; use HDPE-lined fiber drums to prevent phenolic resin formation
