Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If put up as fragrance compound
Mixtures for perfumery use classify in Chapter 33, not pure chemicals.
If fully saturated analog
Unsaturation changes classification; saturated cyclohexanone separate.
If crude plant extract
Crude botanical extracts remain in Chapter 12 before purification.
