Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically alpha-haloacetophenone derivative
Certain specifically named alpha-haloketones have separate statistical suffixes within 2914.79.
If halogenation considered primary over ketone function
Halogenated hydrocarbons without principal oxygen function classify in heading 2903.
If when imported as intermediate for specific heterocyclic drug synthesis
Compounds principally used as precursors for medicinal heterocycles may classify in 2933.
