Hexyl Alcohol Technical Grade (Mixed Isomers) from Japan
Technical grade hexyl alcohol contains primarily n-hexanol with minor isomers like 2-hexanol and iso-hexanol, all saturated monohydric C6 alcohols. Classified specifically under HTS 2905.19.90.20 despite minor impurities, as it represents hexyl alcohol isomers collectively. Used in plasticizers and surfactants.

Import Tips
• Submit isomer composition breakdown; must show hexyl predominance to hold classification
• Declare stabilizer content <1% to qualify under note (f) preservation exception
• Separate pure vs technical grades in manifests to avoid averaging into mixtures
