Alternative Classifications

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

2918.29Same rate: 40.8%

If ester of a non-enumerated phenolic acid

Esters classify with the latest numerical parent, but non-listed acids go to residual.

2909.50Lower: 15.5% vs 40.8%

If classified primarily as an ether rather than ester

Ether function might take precedence if not clearly carboxylic ester per oxygen function notes.

Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm ester linkage via spectroscopic data; ethyl esters would follow note 3(A)(B) but phenyl follows parent; avoid solvent solutions unless for safety per note (e)
