Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with other alcohols or containing impurities >5%
Mixtures of acyclic alcohols fall under 'Other' rather than pure pentanol isomers.
If when imported as formulated solvent mixture for specific industrial use
Prepared chemical mixtures for specific purposes are classified in Chapter 38.
If derived primarily from petroleum distillation and imported as fuel component
Petroleum-derived alcohols may classify under Chapter 27 if meeting fuel specifications.
