Alternative Classifications

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

2914Same rate: 35%

If not halogenated

Non-halogenated aromatic ketones fall under 2914.70, but halogenation shifts to later numerical subheading per chapter note.

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 35%

If imported as unfinished chain with halide but lacking ketone group

Halogenated hydrocarbons without oxygen functions classify in Chapter 29 acyclic hydrocarbons; ketone oxygen function dictates 2914 placement.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 35%

If diluted in solvent for safety/transport exceeding general use

Solutions beyond note (e) criteria (safety/transport only) classify as mixtures in 3824, not pure compounds of 2914.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide detailed chemical purity certificates and CAS number (69482-28-4) documentation; ensure proper Hazard Communication labeling per GHS for chlorinated ketones; avoid misclassification as non-halogenated ketones by verifying chlorine substitution
