Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity exceeds 98% threshold
Higher purity carvone specifically enumerated in statistical suffix takes precedence.
If in spearmint oil (>50% carvone)
Essential oils classified by predominant odor principle under Chapter 33.
If heterocyclic ring misclassification
Presence of oxygen bridge would exclude from 2914 ketones per Chapter Note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• ,Optical rotation specification (±CD = +61° for d-carvone) prevents substitution fraud at customs
• Technical grade >80% avoids 2914.29.10 but requires assay certificate vs pure (2914.29.15)
