Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2914Same rate: 40.5%

If halogenated, e.g., chlorinated derivative

Halogenated ketone derivatives shift to 2914.70 per Chapter note on halogenated derivatives classified later.

2907.29.90.00Lower: 30.5% vs 40.5%

If monophenols dominate over ketone

Principal function as phenol (earlier heading 2907) if ketone is secondary, per oxygen function definitions.

3204.19.40.00Lower: 16.5% vs 40.5%

If used as synthetic fluorescent brightener

Specific uses as luminophores exclude from Chapter 29 per note (g), moving to Chapter 32.
