Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If extracted as part of oleoresin or crude extract
Natural camphor in vegetable saps or extracts remains classified under chapter 13 rather than isolated pure ketones.
If contains detectable alcohol or aldehyde impurities
Presence of other oxygen functions beyond pure ketone group shifts classification to 'ketones with other oxygen function'.
If diluted and packaged for incense or odoriferous use
Mixtures prepared specifically for scenting incense fall under chapter 33 preparations rather than pure chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide botanical origin documentation distinguishing Borneo camphor from Japanese varieties to confirm natural status
• Test for optical rotation (+32° to +44°) as quality indicator; impurities >2% may trigger reclassification
• Register with FDA if destined for drug/OTC use; include stability data for transport conditions
