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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If intended for non-fuel industrial solvent use
Same high-strength undenatured ethyl alcohol but classified under 'For nonbeverage purposes: Other' if not specifically for fuel.
If blended with petroleum products or additives for fuel
Prepared fuel mixtures containing ethyl alcohol fall under chemical preparations rather than pure ethyl alcohol.
If denatured or mixed as gasoline blend
Denatured ethanol or finished motor fuel blends are classified as petroleum oils, not pure ethyl alcohol.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alcoholic strength via lab testing at 20°C to confirm ≥80% vol. and undenatured status; provide certificates of analysis to CBP
• Include end-use declarations specifying fuel applications to avoid reclassification as industrial solvent; common pitfall is missing fuel-specific documentation
• Ensure compliance with EPA fuel additive registrations and ASTM D4806 purity standards for biofuel imports
