Alternative Classifications

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

3824.99.39Lower: 35% vs 41.5%

If total impurities exceed 5% w/w

Technical grades failing chemical compound purity threshold classify as chemical mixtures.

2912.19.10.00Lower: 40.5% vs 41.5%

If ester content dominates chemically

Partial esters present as impurities may trigger aldehyde/ketone classification if predominant.

Import Tips & Compliance

Specify impurity profile (benzaldehyde <0.5%, cinnamaldehyde <1%) to justify pure compound status

Large bulk shipments require proper ventilation certification per IMDG Code (UN 2811)

Technical Data Sheet must confirm minimum 95% assay to avoid 3824 mixture classification
