Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If oxygen-function misclassified due to salt form
Note restrictions on oxygen functions could theoretically shift esters/salts, though alkaloids remain in 2939.
If when with added identification color/emetic
Chapter note (g) exclusions for additives rendering specific use suitability move to mixtures.
