Ziegler Process Decyl Alcohol from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• 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
