Products classified under HTS 2207.10.60.10
Ethanol Fuel Grade 99% ABV
High-purity undenatured ethyl alcohol with 99% alcoholic strength by volume, specifically produced for use as a biofuel additive in gasoline blends like E10 or E85. It falls under HTS 2207.10.60.10 because it is undenatured ethyl alcohol of 80% vol. or higher designated for fuel use in nonbeverage applications. This classification distinguishes it from beverage or industrial solvent alcohols.
Denatured Fuel Ethanol 95% ABV
Undenatured ethyl alcohol at 95% ABV optimized for biofuel production and flex-fuel vehicle applications. Classified in HTS 2207.10.60.10 due to its ≥80% vol. strength and explicit designation for fuel use, excluding beverage or non-fuel purposes. It meets renewable fuel standard specifications for blending.
Bioethanol E100 Fuel Alcohol
Fermentation-derived bioethanol at 99.5% purity for use as a complete vehicle fuel (E100) or high-blend biofuel. It qualifies for HTS 2207.10.60.10 as undenatured ethyl alcohol ≥80% vol. intended solely for fuel applications in nonbeverage contexts. Sustainability certifications often accompany these imports.
Fuel-Grade Anhydrous Ethanol
Anhydrous (water-free) ethyl alcohol at 99.9% ABV for premium fuel blending to maximize energy content. HTS 2207.10.60.10 applies to this undenatured ≥80% vol. product explicitly for fuel use, supporting advanced biofuel programs. Molecular sieve drying ensures low water content.
Corn-Based Fuel Ethanol 92% ABV
Ethyl alcohol from corn fermentation at 92% ABV, rectified for fuel blending in standard gasoline. Classified under HTS 2207.10.60.10 for its undenatured ≥80% vol. strength and fuel-specific use, common in U.S. Midwest imports. It qualifies for volumetric excise tax credits.
Sugarcane Ethanol Fuel 96% ABV
Hydrous ethyl alcohol from sugarcane at 96% ABV for E100 fuel or high-octane blends, popular in Brazilian imports. HTS 2207.10.60.10 covers this undenatured ≥80% vol. product for nonbeverage fuel purposes. It supports low-carbon fuel standards.
Grain Neutral Spirits Fuel Ethanol
Rectified grain neutral spirits at 95% ABV diverted for fuel use in high-performance racing fuels. Falls under HTS 2207.10.60.10 as undenatured ethyl alcohol ≥80% vol. for fuel, distinct from potable GNS. High distillation purity minimizes impurities.
Cellulosic Ethanol Fuel 98% ABV
Advanced biofuel from cellulosic biomass at 98% ABV for next-gen fuel blends meeting LCFS credits. HTS 2207.10.60.10 applies to this undenatured ≥80% vol. ethyl alcohol for fuel use. Enzymatic hydrolysis ensures high yield.
