This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is blended with other solvents for a specific electronic cleaning application
Prepared solvent mixtures are classified in Chapter 38, not as pure alcohols.
If the product is a different high-purity alcohol, such as electronic-grade methanol
Other saturated monohydric alcohols have their own tariff items.
