Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains halogen substituents like chlorine
Halogenated acyclic alcohol derivatives move to 2905.22 per Chapter note on derivatives.
If when sold as technical grade with multiple hexyl isomers
Mixtures of isomers fall under general 'Other' rather than pure isomer heading.
If formulated as organic composite solvent blend
Blends with multiple functions classify as composite preparations outside pure compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label with exact isomer name and CAS number (e.g
• 108-11-2) for customs verification against HTS specificity
• Declare any added stabilizers separately; note (f) allows them only if necessary for preservation
• Test for halogenated impurities to avoid shifting to halogenated derivatives under 2905.29
