Alternative Classifications

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

2922.19Higher: 16.5% vs 5.8%

If for simple aromatic amino-alcohols without phenolic function

Lacks the dual oxygen functions (phenol + alcohol) required for 2922.50 grouping.

3003.90.01Lower: Free vs 5.8%

If when imported as hydrochloride salt in medicinal doses

Pharmaceutical salts formulated for retail/consumer use shift to Chapter 30.

2939Higher: 16.5% vs 5.8%

If containing additional heterocyclic oxygen structure

Chapter notes prioritize heterocyclic classification over acyclic oxygen-function amino-compounds.
