Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used as solvent or feedstock
Non-fuel methanol applications fall under general industrial classification.
If potable and denatured for fuel
Undenatured ethyl alcohol for fuel classified in beverages chapter.
If with extensive fuel additives
Antiknock preparations with over 70% methanol shift to Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include technical specs confirming fuel suitability and secure fuel-use permits from energy authorities
• Segregate storage tanks for fuel methanol to prevent commingling with chemical-grade stock
• Monitor for denaturant levels; insufficient additives may trigger reclassification
