Alternative Classifications

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

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 40.5%

If blended with >2% other substances for specific industrial use

Mixtures not qualifying as separate chemically defined compounds per Chapter 29 note (a) fall under prepared chemical preparations in Chapter 38.

2905.19.90Lower: 38.7% vs 40.5%

If denatured for non-beverage industrial use

Denatured acyclic alcohols are classified separately from pure forms under other saturated monohydric alcohols.

2710.12Lower: 17% vs 40.5%

If imported as mixture with >70% petroleum oils

Chapter 29 excludes mixtures where petroleum base predominates, directing to Chapter 27 light oils.
