Anthraquinone
Pure anthraquinone is a yellow crystalline solid classified as a quinone under HTS 2914.61.00.00 due to its characteristic quinone structure with two carbonyl groups in a fused ring system. It serves as a fundamental intermediate in organic synthesis for dyes, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing impurities or mixed with solvents
Mixtures not meeting Chapter 29 purity standards fall under prepared chemical mixtures in Chapter 38.
If formulated as synthetic dye for retail sale
Dye preparations put up for retail exceed Chapter 29 scope per exclusion note (g).
If containing heterocyclic nitrogen beyond quinone structure
Nitrogen heterocyclic compounds classified later in numerical order per Chapter 29 note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate (≥98%) to confirm classification as chemically defined compound under Chapter 29 note (a)
• Provide SDS and CAS number (84-65-1) documentation; impure mixtures may shift to Chapter 38
• Avoid retail packaging over 300g as it risks reclassification under heading 3212 if marketed as dye
