Diethylene Glycol Distillation Cut 98% from Germany
A 98% distillation cut of 2,2'-oxydiethanol containing 1-2% triethylene glycol qualifies as a separate chemically defined compound under Chapter 29 Note 1(a), as impurities do not preclude classification. It is used in urethane production and falls under tariff item 2909.41.00 as an ether-alcohol.

Import Tips
• Document the exact composition, including the triethylene glycol impurity, to demonstrate it is a distillation cut rather than a mixture
• The presence of impurities does not remove classification from 2909.41.00 as long as the product is a separate chemically defined compound
• Provide the boiling range and distillation data to the CBSA if requested
