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.
