Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported primarily as a pharmaceutical intermediate with established drug use
Nitrobenzene derivatives used principally for medicinal purposes may shift to Chapter 29, heading 2924 per note 2 to Chapter 29.
If entirely aromatic cyclic ketone without nitro substitution
Removal of nitro group would classify as other aromatic ketones in 2914.70 rather than nitrated derivatives.
If considered primarily a nitrated hydrocarbon rather than ketone-dominant
If ketone function is secondary to nitrobenzene structure, may fall under non-ketone nitro compounds in heading 2904.
