European Pharmacopoeia grade propyl gallate, the propyl ester of gallic acid used as food preservative E310. Classifiable under HTS 2918.29.30.00 per chapter note 3(A) as ester of gallic acid follows parent compound heading. Chemically defined with phenol function carboxylic acid structure.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified by ester function rather than parent gallic acid
Customs may default to general phenol carboxylic acids if ester not explicitly linked to gallic acid per note 3(A).
If when imported as prepared food additive blend
Mixtures exceeding simple stabilizer additions per note (f) fall to Chapter 38 chemical preparations.
If used as synthetic coloring auxiliary
Chapter excludes synthetic organic products of 3204; gallate esters in dyes shift there.
