Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity is 99% or higher
Higher purity tert-butyl alcohol moves to the specific subheading for ≥99% pure product within the same butanol category.
If contains significant additives or formulated as a mixture
Mixtures of organic chemicals not chemically defined as single compounds fall under prepared chemical preparations.
If gasoline-blended for fuel use
tert-Butyl alcohol used as oxygenate in gasoline is classified as light oil mixture rather than pure chemical.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate from supplier showing <99% to confirm HTS 2905.14.10.00 classification; ≥99% shifts to 2905.14.20.00
• Include Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and ensure proper UN 1120 hazardous material documentation for transport
• Avoid misclassification as perfume ingredient; declare industrial end-use to prevent reclassification under Chapter 33
