More Specific Codes
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 2-ethylhexanol (a C8 alcohol) rather than hexanol
2-Ethylhexanol is specifically named in the tariff, so it would be classified under that subheading instead of the residual 'other' item.
If the product is butanol (C4H10O) rather than hexanol
Butanol has its own subheading, so it would not fall under the residual 'other' item for saturated monohydric alcohols.

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
• Confirm the BHT stabilizer is present in quantities necessary for preservation and does not impart specific use, per Chapter 29 Note 1(f)
• Provide the stabilizer's concentration and purpose in your documentation
• Verify the Canadian duty rate for 2905.19.00, which may be duty-free under trade agreements
