Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If niacinamide (nicotinamide) instead of niacin
Niacinamide has its own specific subheading 2936.29.30, classified separately from the acid form.
If chemically modified as sugar esters or ethers
Sugar derivatives of vitamins fall under heading 2940, later in numerical order per classification note 3.
If dissolved in aqueous solution >10% concentration
Vitamin solutions exceeding normal transport concentrations become chemical preparations of Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide EP/BP certificates and chromatograms demonstrating single-peak purity to confirm 'unmixed' status
• Declare intended end-use as vitamin supplement ingredient; therapeutic claims may trigger FDA drug classification
• Monitor solvent residue limits (<5000ppm) per USP <467> to avoid CBP rejection for transport solvent violations
