Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing an alcohol function only
Pure alcohol-ketone derivatives without phenolic function classify earlier in 2914.40; phenolic OH distinguishes ketone-phenols
If primarily classified as phenol derivative
If phenolic character predominates over ketone function, may classify in Chapter 29 phenols (2907) per numerical order rule
If imported as mixture or technical grade
Mixtures exceeding single compound purity limits fall to Chapter 38 as chemical preparations, not pure Chapter 29 compounds

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate to confirm it qualifies as a separate chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 note (a); Provide Safety Data Sheet (SDS) documenting ketone-phenol structure; Avoid classification issues by confirming no halogenation that would shift to earlier ketone headings
