Alternative Classifications

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

2916.31.20.00Higher: 41.5% vs 35%

If benzoic acid without methyl substituent

Unsubstituted benzoic acid falls earlier in 2916.31; substitution like methyl keeps it in 'other' aromatic acids.

2903.99.80.01Lower: 15.5% vs 35%

If classified by alcohol moiety

Halogenated benzyl alcohols classify in Chapter 29 acyclic alcohols, but carboxylic function takes precedence.
