2932.94.00.00 - Safrole

This HTS classification, 2932.94.00.00, specifically identifies Safrole. Safrole is an organic compound characterized by its benzodioxole ring structure and an allyl side chain. It is a naturally occurring aromatic ether found in the oil of certain plants, notably sassafras.

Safrole is distinguished from its sibling categories by its precise chemical structure. For example, while Isosafrole (2932.91.00.00) shares a similar core structure, it differs in the position of the double bond in its side chain. Similarly, 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-one (2932.92.00.00) is a ketone derivative, and Piperonal (2932.93.00.00) is an aldehyde. This category solely encompasses Safrole itself, without other functional groups or structural modifications that would place it in adjacent HTS codes.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 2932.94.00.00 is therefore definitive for Safrole, based on its unique chemical identity and structure as outlined in the Harmonized System. The primary criterion for classification here is the direct identification of Safrole.
