Salicylaldehyde

Salicylaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde with ortho-hydroxy substitution used in perfume synthesis and tanning agents. It enters HTS 2942.00.35.00 as other modified aromatic compounds, following the rule for classification in the last applicable heading after simpler aldehydes. The phenolic functionality modifies standard benzaldehyde classification.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2912.29Lower: 15.5% vs 31.5%

If considered primarily as aromatic aldehyde

Aldehyde function headings precede; phenolic substitution may justify later 2942 placement.

3302.10.50.00Lower: 19.4% vs 31.5%

If when incorporated into fragrance compounds

Mixtures for perfumery exclude pure compounds from Chapter 29.
