Alternative Classifications

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

2936.22.00Lower: Free vs 100%

If classified as vitamin B1 (thiamine) derivative by error

Different B-vitamin derivatives have distinct headings; Chapter 29 prioritizes last numerical order but requires correct chemical identification.

2940.00.60Lower: 43.3% vs 100%

If chemically modified as sugar ester/acetal derivative

Sugar-modified niacinamide derivatives move to heading 2940 per Chapter notes, outside unmixed vitamins.

3824Lower: 17.5% vs 100%

If mixed with stabilizers exceeding Chapter note (f) limits

Additives beyond preservation/transport render it a chemical preparation of Ch.38 rather than pure vitamin.
