Denatured Ethanol Fuel Blend E85 from China
Denatured ethanol fuel blend E85 is a high-strength ethyl alcohol (over 80% vol before denaturation) mixed with gasoline for use in flex-fuel vehicles. It is classified under this tariff item because it is denatured to prevent beverage use and is not specially denatured under the Excise Act, 2001. The denaturation and fuel designation place it in the 'other' category of denatured spirits.
