Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If customer requests salt form instead of acid
Importer preference doesn't change chemical classification - salts have separate subheading
If pre-dissolved in beverage concentrate
Spirituous beverages or preparations containing benzoic acid classified by matrix, not pure compound
