Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2905.11.20Same rate: 40.5%

If un-stabilized pure methanol

Methanol without added stabilizers classifies under general wastewater methanol.

2912.19.10.00Same rate: 40.5%

If high stabilizer concentrations

Excess stabilizer makes product classifiable as acyclic ketones rather than stabilized alcohol.

3815.90.50.00Lower: 40% vs 40.5%

If reaction accelerators

Stabilized methanol positioned as wastewater reaction catalyst classifies under chemical reaction accelerators.
