Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when in diagnostic reagent kits
Prepared reagents for lab analysis may shift to Chapter 38 if not pure compounds.
If considered opium alkaloids instead
Chapter notes specify classification by latest numerical heading, but vegetal origin determines subheading.

Cocaine Hydrochloride
Cocaine hydrochloride is the salt form of cocaine, a tropane alkaloid derived from the coca plant (Erythroxylum coca), classified under HTS 2939.72.00.00 as a salt of cocaine of vegetal origin. It is a white crystalline powder used in limited medical contexts for its local anesthetic properties.
Ecgonine Hydrochloride
Ecgonine hydrochloride is the salt of ecgonine, a key derivative and hydrolysis product of cocaine from coca leaves, falling under HTS 2939.72.00.00 as specified in the tariff description. It serves as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis.
Cocaine Base (Freebase)
Cocaine base, the free alkaloid extracted from coca leaves without salt formation, qualifies under HTS 2939.72.00.00 as 'cocaine' itself, a natural vegetable alkaloid. Used in analytical chemistry and limited synthesis.
Ecgonine Methyl Ester
Ecgonine methyl ester is an ester derivative of ecgonine from coca alkaloids, explicitly covered by HTS 2939.72.00.00 as 'esters...thereof' of vegetal origin. Utilized in biochemical research and synthesis.
Cocaine Sulfate
Cocaine sulfate represents a less common salt form of the coca alkaloid cocaine, falling under HTS 2939.72.00.00 per the 'salts' provision for vegetal alkaloids. Applied in specialized pharmaceutical research.
