98% acetaldehyde suitable for bulk tanker transport in chemical manufacturing is classified under tariff item 2912.12.00 as the chemically defined acyclic aldehyde, allowing minor impurities. It is used in large-scale production of vinyl acetate and other industrial chemicals, consistent with Chapter 29 Note 1(a) for separate chemically defined compounds.
Acetaldehyde for Flavor and Fragrance Synthesis
High-purity acetaldehyde specifically for synthesizing apple, pineapple, and rum flavor compounds is classified under tariff item 2912.12.00 as the pure chemically defined acyclic aldehyde. It meets food-grade precursor standards and is used in flavor and fragrance synthesis, consistent with Chapter 29 Note 1(a).
Acetaldehyde Stabilized with Hydroquinone
Stabilized acetaldehyde contains a small amount of hydroquinone to prevent polymerization during storage and transport, remaining classified under tariff item 2912.12.00 as the pure acyclic aldehyde per Chapter 29 Note 1(f). The stabilizer is added solely for preservation and does not make the product suitable for a specific use.
Acetaldehyde with MEHQ Inhibitor
Acetaldehyde inhibited with 4-methoxyphenol (MEHQ) at 100 ppm to prevent oxidation is classified under tariff item 2912.12.00 per Chapter 29 Note 1(f), which allows added stabilizers necessary for preservation or transport. It is used in polymer and resin industries, and the stabilizer does not render it suitable for a specific use.
