5,5-Diethylbarbituric Acid Intermediate

No, this is specifically barbituric acid itself. Let me correct: Pure barbituric acid used as precursor for synthesizing 5,5-diethylbarbituric acid (barbital). Classified under HTS 2933.52.1000 as the unsubstituted malonylurea meeting chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined compounds.

Alternative Classifications

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

2933.53.00.00Same rate: Free

If the product is allobarbital, amobarbital, etc.

Specific named barbiturate derivatives have dedicated subheadings in 2933.53

2903.99Higher: 15.5% vs Free

If misidentified as a hydroxy acid rather than heterocyclic

Incorrect classification occurs when tautomeric keto-enol forms are not recognized

2918.29Higher: 16.5% vs Free

If considered a carboxylic acid derivative

Compounds with prominent carboxylic functions may classify under oxygen-function carboxylic acids

Import Tips & Compliance

Document intended use as chemical intermediate to distinguish from finished pharmaceuticals

Comply with DEA precursor chemical reporting requirements for barbiturate synthesis

Ensure packaging prevents moisture absorption which affects reactivity

Barbituric Acid

Barbituric acid (malonylurea) is a heterocyclic compound with a pyrimidine ring structure, serving as the core scaffold for barbiturate pharmaceuticals. It is classified under HTS 2933.52.1000 as a separate chemically defined organic compound containing a nitrogen hetero-atom in a pyrimidine ring. Primarily used as an intermediate in synthesizing barbiturate drugs.

Pharmaceutical Grade Barbituric Acid Powder

High-purity barbituric acid powder (≥99%) manufactured specifically for use in API synthesis of barbiturate sedatives and anticonvulsants. Meets USP/EP pharmacopeia standards and is classified under HTS 2933.52.1000 as the pure malonylurea compound. Supplied in bulk for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Laboratory Reagent Barbituric Acid

ACS reagent grade barbituric acid for analytical chemistry and organic synthesis in research laboratories. Supplied as white crystalline powder with specified purity for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Classifies under HTS 2933.52.1000 as a separate chemically defined heterocyclic compound.

Barbituric Acid Technical Grade

Technical grade malonylurea (90-95% purity) for industrial synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and agrochemicals. Less refined than pharmaceutical grade but still qualifies as separate chemically defined compound under HTS 2933.52.1000 chapter notes.

Barbituric Acid with Stabilizer

Barbituric acid containing added stabilizer necessary for preservation during transport, as permitted by Chapter 29 note (f). The stabilizer does not render it suitable for specific use. Remains classified under HTS 2933.52.1000 as the principal chemically defined compound.

Research Quantity Barbituric Acid

Small quantity barbituric acid packaged for research institutions and university laboratories. Despite small packaging, qualifies as separate chemically defined compound under HTS 2933.52.1000, not retail consumer product.
