Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If emphasizing piperidine heterocycle over aromatic drug function
Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen take precedence in 2933 before general aromatic drugs.
If imported in bulk medicinal form for repackaging
Medicinal preparations in bulk move to Chapter 30, not pure chemical compounds.
If for simple aromatic alcohol intermediates
Basic aromatic oxygen compounds classified earlier in Chapter 29 subchapter I.
