Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If aromatic with additional salicylic acid-like functions
Mixtures or compounds with other oxygen functions beyond phenol move to later subheadings per chapter classification rule.
If when esterified as propyl gallate derivative
Esters of gallic acid classified with parent acid per note 3(A), but vitamin E forms may go to Chapter 29 hormones/nucleic derivatives.
If pre-mixed as immunological product base
Chapter excludes immunological products of 3002; gallic acid in vaccine formulations shifts there.
