Alternative Classifications

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

2922.19Same rate: 6.5%

If specified as 'of optical isomers'

Pure enantiomers of these amino-alcohols have dedicated provisions earlier in the subheading.

2907.29Higher: 15.5% vs 6.5%

If imported primarily as phenolic alcohol without emphasized amino function

Chapter 29 prioritizes phenolic structure over amino-alcohol classification in some cases.

3003.39Higher: 10% vs 6.5%

If for bulk medicaments containing the salt

Mixtures for medicinal use shift to Chapter 30 even if bulk.
