Sustainable aviation fuel ethanol base is denatured ethyl alcohol (≥80% vol) used as the alcohol component in SAF production. It is classified under this tariff item as denatured alcohol for fuel energy production, not specially denatured under the Excise Act. The fuel-specific denaturation and use in aviation fuel distinguish it from other denatured spirits.
