Ziegler Process Decyl Alcohol
Ziegler Process Decyl Alcohol is a linear 1-decanol (C10H22O) produced via the Ziegler aluminum trialkyl process, with a high n-paraffin content exceeding 98%. As a saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol, it falls under tariff item 2905.19.00, which covers other saturated monohydric alcohols not elsewhere specified. Its high purity and linear structure distinguish it from branched oxo-process isomers, making it suitable for plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricant additives.

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 specifically octanol (2-ethylhexanol) rather than decanol
Octanol has its own subheading, so pure 2-ethylhexanol would be classified there instead of under 'other' saturated monohydric alcohols.
If the product is dodecanol (lauryl alcohol) rather than decanol
Dodecanol is a separate named alcohol in the tariff, so it would not fall under the residual 'other' item.
Not sure which classification is right?
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
• Ensure the product's purity (≥98% n-decanol) is documented with a certificate of analysis to support classification under 2905.19.00
• Verify the Canadian duty rate for this tariff item, as it may be duty-free under certain trade agreements
• Declare the end use (e.g
• plasticizers) to the CBSA if asked, but note that end use does not affect classification
