Alternative Classifications

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

2932.99Same rate: 41.5%

If not specifically the named compound but another aromatic heterocyclic

Other aromatic heterocyclics with oxygen hetero-atoms fall under the residual 2932.99.60; this subheading is specific to named compound.

2908.19Lower: 15.5% vs 41.5%

If classified primarily by phenolic hydroxy function

Phenols with additional functions may shift to Chapter 29 oxygen-function headings if not fitting heterocyclic definition.

2918Lower: 14% vs 41.5%

If imported as sodium salt for stability

Inorganic salts of organic acids classified with parent acid per Chapter Note 3(C)(1), but if coordination complex, follows last numerical order.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, IR, MS) confirming structure matches 2932.99.35.00 exactly; mismatches lead to reclassification

β€’ Include Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) verifying purity >98% and absence of isomers

β€’ Ensure packaging complies with UN/DOT hazardous material regs for carboxylic acids (Corrosive Class 8)
