Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If intended for beverage production like distilled spirits
Beverage-purpose ethyl alcohol ≥80% ABV falls under 2207.10.40 with different proof liter duties.
If chemically denatured or mixed with additives for industrial solvents
Denatured ethyl alcohol of any strength is classified in 3822 as diagnostic/industrial preparations, not pure undenatured.
If further purified to USP/ACS reagent grade standards
Higher purity denatured alcohols may shift to Chapter 29 as acyclic alcohols derivatives.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide end-use certification from buyer stating nonbeverage purpose (e.g
• lab research) to qualify under 2207.10.60
• Accurate proof liter calculation required; declare exact ABV at 20°C as duty scales with proof strength
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as beverage alcohol, which shifts to higher-duty 2208 provisions
