2907.29.90.00 - Other

This category, HTS Code 2907.29.90.00, encompasses a broad range of polyphenols and phenol-alcohols that are not specifically enumerated under more particular subheadings within heading 2907. It serves as a residual category for complex organic compounds characterized by multiple hydroxyl groups directly attached to aromatic rings, or those containing both phenolic and alcoholic functional groups. The classification here relies on the absence of a more precise fit within the preceding subcategories.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its siblings. For instance, while 2907.29.05.00 specifically covers phenol-alcohols, and 2907.29.10.00 to 2907.29.25.00 enumerate specific compounds like pyrogallic acid, 4,4'-biphenol, and tert-butylhydroquinone, this category is for all other polyphenols and phenol-alcohols that do not meet the distinct definitions of those listed items. Classification into this residual category is typically determined after a thorough examination confirms that the compound's chemical structure and properties do not align with any of the more specifically defined classifications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the primary focus for classifying goods under 2907.29.90.00 is to meticulously compare the chemical identity and characteristics of the product against the definitions of all preceding subheadings within heading 2907. If the product meets the general definition of a polyphenol or phenol-alcohol but does not fit any of the specifically listed items, it would be correctly classified here.
