DL-Tyrosine
DL-Tyrosine is a synthetic aromatic amino acid with phenolic oxygen function, falling under HTS 2922.49.37.00 as 'other' oxygen-function amino-compounds. Despite its phenolic group, it qualifies due to single carboxyl classification and exclusion from proteinogenic listings. Commonly used in nootropic supplements and biochemical research.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If it's a specifically enumerated amino-acid salt like L-lysine salts
Certain named amino-acid salts have specific subheadings; 'other' applies only when not specifically listed.
If imported primarily as phenol derivative without amino-acid emphasis
Phenolic compounds take precedence if the phenolic function dominates classification over amino-acid function.
If it's a formulated mixture with >2% impurities or additives
Chapter 29 requires chemically defined compounds; mixtures with significant impurities fall to prepared chemical mixtures.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include spectral analysis (NMR/IR) verifying aromatic structure and single oxygen-function amino-acid nature to prevent misclassification as phenols (2907)
• Label with correct nomenclature avoiding 'L-tyrosine' designation if racemic; racemates have different regulatory considerations
• Watch for reclassification as feed-grade additives (2309) if impure or mixed with carriers; must be >98% pure chemically defined compound
