2932.99.39.00 - Benzoin tetrahydropyranyl ester; and Xanthen-9-one

This HTS classification covers "Other" heterocyclic compounds containing only oxygen heteroatoms that are aromatic in nature and do not fall under more specific subheadings. Specifically, this category encompasses Benzoin tetrahydropyranyl ester and Xanthen-9-one. These compounds are characterized by the presence of an oxygen atom within a ring structure, and their aromatic nature indicates a cyclic structure with delocalized pi electrons, contributing to their chemical stability and reactivity.

When classifying within this level, it is crucial to differentiate these items from sibling categories. For instance, HTS 2932.99.32.00 covers Benzofuran (Coumarone) and Dibenzofuran, which have distinct fused ring structures. Similarly, HTS 2932.99.35.00 is specific to 2-Hydroxy-3-dibenzofancarboxylic acid, a derivative with a carboxylic acid group. The inclusion of Benzoin tetrahydropyranyl ester and Xanthen-9-one here signifies that they are not covered by these more precisely defined aromatic heterocyclic compounds.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification is therefore determined by whether the imported or exported merchandise precisely matches the description of Benzoin tetrahydropyranyl ester or Xanthen-9-one and fits the broader criteria of aromatic heterocyclic compounds with oxygen heteroatoms only, and are not otherwise specified. Importers and exporters should verify the chemical identity and structure of their goods to ensure accurate classification under this residual subheading.
