Industrial Grade Methanol for Resin Production from Canada

High-purity methanol (CH3OH) imported specifically for use in the chemical production of formaldehyde-based resins like urea-formaldehyde and phenolic resins. This saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol falls under HTS 2905.11.20.10 due to its designated end-use in resin manufacturing, distinguishing it from other methanol grades. It meets chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined organic compounds used in industrial synthesis.

Import Tips

Provide end-use certification documentation proving import for chemical production (e.g

resin synthesis) to qualify for this specific subheading and avoid reclassification

Ensure purity specs meet industrial standards (>99.8%) and include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazardous material handling compliance
