2914.40.40.00 - Other

This category, HTS Code 2914.40.40.00, encompasses "Other" aromatic ketone-alcohols and ketone-aldehydes. Following the preceding classifications within Chapter 29, which detail specific ketone-alcohols and ketone-aldehydes, this residual category is designated for those aromatic compounds possessing both ketone and alcohol or aldehyde functional groups that do not meet the specific descriptions of other headings. The primary classification criteria revolve around the presence of these dual functionalities within an aromatic ring structure, when not otherwise specifically enumerated.

The critical distinction for classification under 2914.40.40.00 lies in its exclusion of specifically named aromatic ketone-alcohols and ketone-aldehydes. For instance, it does not include 1,2,3-Indantrione monohydrate (Ninhydrin), which is classified under the sibling category 2914.40.20.00. Therefore, any aromatic compound exhibiting both ketone and alcohol or aldehyde characteristics, but not specifically enumerated elsewhere at this level of the tariff schedule, will fall into this "Other" category.

As this classification node represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification is therefore determined by whether a particular aromatic ketone-alcohol or ketone-aldehyde fits within the broader definition of this heading and is not explicitly covered by any preceding or sibling descriptions. Importers and exporters should carefully review the chemical structure and functional groups of their merchandise to ensure accurate classification.
