Products classified under Tariff item 2906.12.00
1,2-Dimethylcyclohexanol
1,2-Dimethylcyclohexanol is a cyclic alcohol used in fine chemical synthesis, particularly for preparing chiral auxiliaries and other stereoselective reagents. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound with a cyclanic structure, falling squarely under tariff item 2906.12.00 for dimethylcyclohexanols.
2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanol
2,6-Dimethylcyclohexanol is a dimethylcyclohexanol isomer employed in organic synthesis and as a precursor for fragrance compounds. As a separate chemically defined cyclanic alcohol, it is correctly classified under tariff item 2906.12.00.
3-Methylcyclohexanol
3-Methylcyclohexanol is a methyl-substituted cyclohexanol used as a solvent and intermediate in adhesive formulations. It is a separate chemically defined compound and a methylcyclohexanol, placing it under tariff item 2906.12.00.
4-Methylcyclohexanol
4-Methylcyclohexanol is a methyl-substituted cyclohexanol used as a chemical intermediate in the production of lubricants and resins. As a separate chemically defined methylcyclohexanol, it is classified under tariff item 2906.12.00.
Cyclohexanol (C6H11OH)
Cyclohexanol is a clear, colorless liquid cyclic alcohol used primarily as an intermediate in the production of nylon and other polymers. As a separate chemically defined cyclanic alcohol, it falls under tariff item 2906.12.00.
Cyclohexanol with Stabilizer
Stabilized cyclohexanol contains anti-oxidants added for safe transport and preservation, used in caprolactam production. Chapter note 1(f) allows added stabilizers necessary for preservation or transport, so it remains classified under tariff item 2906.12.00.
Menthol (3,7-Dimethyl-6-octen-2-ol variant)
Synthetic menthol, specifically the 3,7-dimethyl-6-octen-2-ol variant, is a cycloterpenic alcohol, not a cyclanic alcohol. Chapter note 1 and the heading text for 2906.12.00 cover only cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic alcohols, but menthol is a terpene alcohol with an open chain, not a cyclohexanol derivative. Therefore, it does not fall under this tariff item.
Menthol Crystals USP Grade
USP-grade menthol crystals are high-purity menthol used in medicinal topical applications. Menthol is a cycloterpenic alcohol, not a cyclohexanol or methylcyclohexanol, so it is not classified under tariff item 2906.12.00. It belongs under a different heading for cyclic alcohols.
p-Menthol (para-Menthol)
p-Menthol is a stereoisomer of menthol used in flavorings and as a cooling agent. Like menthol, it is a cycloterpenic alcohol, not a cyclohexanol, and thus not classified under tariff item 2906.12.00.
trans-4-Methylcyclohexanol
trans-4-Methylcyclohexanol is a stereospecific methylcyclohexanol used in pharmaceutical intermediates and polymer additives. As a separate chemically defined methylcyclohexanol, it is classified under tariff item 2906.12.00.
