Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as other alkaloids of vegetal origin
Ecgonine might be argued under broader 2939.79 if not explicitly identified as cocaine derivative, but 2939.72 takes precedence per numerical order note.
If considered an acyclic alcohol derivative
Misclassification could occur if focusing only on alcohol function, but alkaloid nature prevails under Chapter 29 structure.

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.
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.
Benzoylecgonine
Benzoylecgonine is a major metabolite and derivative of cocaine found in coca processing, classified under HTS 2939.72.00.00 as an 'other derivative' of ecgonine/cocaine of vegetal origin. Commonly used in forensic and toxicology testing.
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.
