Overview
This category encompasses a variety of aromatic monocarboxylic acids and their derivatives that do not fall under more specific classifications within heading 2916. It specifically includes compounds such as 2,2-Dichlorophenylacetic acid, ethyl ester, and m-Toluic acid. These are organic compounds characterized by a carboxylic acid group attached to an aromatic ring, along with halogenation, esterification, or other substitutions that differentiate them from less complex aromatic carboxylic acids.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings requires careful consideration of the specific substituents and functional groups present. For instance, while sibling categories may cover specific nitro-substituted benzoic acids, peroxyacids, or cinnamic acid, this node captures aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives with other, less commonly specified halogenations or esterifications, or mixtures of such compounds. The presence of ethyl ester in 2,2-Dichlorophenylacetic acid, ethyl ester, and the methyl substituent in m-Toluic acid are key identifiers.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific code relies solely on the precise identification of the listed chemical compounds or other aromatic monocarboxylic acid derivatives meeting the general criteria of heading 2916.39 but not fitting into more granular sibling descriptions.
