Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily classified by ketone function rather than aldehyde-alcohol
Aromatic ketone-alcohols fall under 2912.60; structural priority determined by principal function per chapter notes.
If pre-mixed as essential oil base for perfumery retail
Odoriferous preparations of Chapter 33 supersede pure compounds when put up for retail sale.
If for related unsaturated acyclic monohydric alcohols
If lacking aldehyde group, classifies as unsaturated alcohols in earlier heading 2906.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include GC-MS analysis reports confirming >95% purity to distinguish from mixtures under 3824
• Label with GHS hazard pictograms for skin sensitization (H317) and ensure UN-approved packaging for liquids
• Declare exact stabilizer content (if any) per Chapter 29 note (f) to avoid reclassification as a preparation
