Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unsubstituted cyclohexanone present in mixture
Pure cyclohexanone falls under the earlier subheading 2914.22.10; chapter note prioritizes last numerical order.
If imported as mixture with acyclic hydrocarbons
Mixtures of cyclic hydrocarbons without ketone function classify in Chapter 29 heading 2902.
If supplied as formulated chemical preparation
Chemical mixtures or preparations not chemically defined fall under heading 3824.
