Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically identified as 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol
Broader subheading for other saturated monohydric acyclic alcohols when exact chemical specification doesn't match the .05 statistical suffix.
If imported as a mixture or solution with solvents exceeding transport-only concentrations
Chapter 29 excludes mixtures where solvent renders product suitable for specific use beyond safety/transport (note e); moves to prepared chemical mixtures.
If containing acyclic ether functionality in addition to the alcohol group
Alcohol priority compounds with ether groups are classified in later numerical headings per Chapter 29 classification rule.
