Denatured Ethanol for Racing Fuel from United States
Denatured ethanol for racing fuel is specialty ethyl alcohol (≥80% vol) denatured for use in motorsports. It is classified under this tariff item because it is denatured to prevent beverage consumption and is not specially denatured under the Excise Act. The fuel-specific formulation places it in the 'other' category of denatured spirits.
