Laboratory Grade tert-Butyl Alcohol (97% Purity)
Laboratory-grade tert-butyl alcohol at 97% purity, packaged for use as a reagent in organic synthesis. Its purity below 99% places it under the tariff item for other butanols, not the higher-purity analytical grade.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is not specifically a butanol isomer
Other saturated monohydric alcohols not elsewhere specified fall under this item.
If sold as a diagnostic or laboratory reagent with specific certifications
Prepared laboratory reagents may be classified under diagnostic or laboratory reagents.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Label the packaging clearly as laboratory reagent to avoid confusion with denatured alcohol
• Provide the purity certificate to the CBSA upon request
• Check if the product requires an import permit under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, though tert-butanol is generally not controlled

2-Methyl-1-Butanol
2-Methyl-1-butanol is a primary acyclic saturated alcohol, a branched-chain isomer of butanol. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound, which qualifies it for classification under this tariff item as an 'other butanol'.
2-Methyl-2-Butanol
2-Methyl-2-butanol is a tertiary branched saturated acyclic alcohol, classified as an 'other butanol' under this tariff item. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound used in coatings and cleaners.
2-Methyl-2-Butanol (tert-Amyl Alcohol)
2-Methyl-2-butanol (tert-amyl alcohol) is a tertiary C5 acyclic alcohol. Despite its C5 structure, it is classified under the tariff item for other butanols due to its saturated monohydric nature and use as a gasoline anti-knock additive.
3-Methyl-1-Butanol
3-Methyl-1-butanol, also known as isoamyl alcohol, is a primary saturated monohydric alcohol and a branched-chain isomer of butanol. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound, placing it under 'other butanols' in this tariff item.
Butanol Mixtures (C4 Alcohol Blend)
Mixtures containing 60-95% n-butanol, isobutanol, and sec-butanol, used in solvent formulations and chemical manufacturing. As a blend of butanol isomers, it falls under the tariff item for other butanols.
