Alternative Classifications

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

2710.12.15Lower: 25% vs 35%

If pre-blended with gasoline

Alcohol-gasoline mixtures exceed 25% oxygen content classified as motor fuel, not pure chemicals.

3824.99.93Higher: 40% vs 35%

If for additive packages with other oxygenates

Fuel additive formulations are chemical preparations, not individual organic compounds.

2905.14Same rate: 35%

If after distillation to ≥99% purity

Fuel-grade material often purified to higher specification before final blending.

Import Tips & Compliance

Declare intended fuel use but classify as pure chemical; EPA fuel registration may apply post-import

Ensure <1% water content certification to avoid 'aqueous solution' misclassification
