Theobromine Powder

Theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine), a methylxanthine alkaloid with fused nitrogen-heterocyclic rings, extracted for pharmaceutical and food applications. Falls under HTS 2933.99.9701 as 'other' heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atoms only. Excluded from 2939 as it's often supplied in pure form rather than crude alkaloid mixtures.

Alternative Classifications

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

2939.62.00.00Lower: Free vs 6.5%

If when imported as caffeine/theobromine alkaloid mixture from natural sources

Vegetable alkaloids classified in 2939 regardless of purity if not separated compounds.

2907.29.90.00Higher: 30.5% vs 6.5%

If considered a phenol derivative rather than heterocyclic

Structural interpretation differences; purine ring takes precedence under numerical order rule.

3824Higher: 15% vs 6.5%

If sold as research chemical mixture with anti-dusting agents

Additives rendering suitable for specific lab use move to preparations in 3824.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify COA shows single isomer purity; mixtures of xanthine isomers fall under Chapter note (b)

β€’ Include stabilizer declaration if present; Chapter note (f) allows but requires proof of necessity
