Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If non-halogenated adrenal cortical steroid
Parent hormones without halogenation classified in earlier 2937.11 subheading.
If in oral tablet form for retail
Finished dosage forms containing hormones classified by presentation in Chapter 30.
If classified primarily by acetate ester function
Could be argued under saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters if hormonal use discounted.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare acetate ester content precisely (typically 97-102% as is); hydrolysis products misclassify as parent alcohol
• Include bioequivalence data if generic API; FDA requires comparative dissolution profiles
