Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If explicitly imported as an alkaloid derivative for pharmaceutical use
Ephedrine, as a natural alkaloid base, may shift to Chapter 29 subheading for alkaloids if not specified as salt.
If when imported as formulated pharmaceutical product rather than bulk chemical
Finished dosage forms containing ephedrine classify under medicaments in Chapter 30.
If containing more than one kind of oxygen function
Amino-alcohols with additional oxygen groups (e.g., ether linkages) fall under the 'more than one oxygen function' provision.
