Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically synthesized from turpentine
Synthetic camphor, even chemically identical, is specifically classified separately from natural camphor under the same subheading.
If put up in retail packings for perfumery use
Natural camphor prepared as a fragrance compound in consumer packaging falls under essential oils rather than bulk chemicals.
If imported as crude camphor oil containing other terpenes
Unrefined natural camphor in plant extracts or oils is classified as plants/drugs rather than pure isolated ketones.
