Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If it's an organic-organic salt like alanine glutamate
Salts between two organic compounds classified by whichever base/acid is last numerically
If primarily considered sodium salt without clear organic predominance
Customs may challenge if salt characteristics dominate over amino acid identity
If part of immunological product mixtures
Chapter exclusion sends immunological products to 3002 regardless of components

Import Tips & Compliance
• Chapter note (C)(1) confirms salt stays with parent acid classification; include salt content analysis
• Pharma imports need DMF filing and FDA import license verification
• Avoid misclassification as separate inorganic salt by providing molecular structure
