Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If converted to tocopherol acetate
Esters of vitamin E fall under 2936 per Chapter 29 ester classification note (A).
If pre-mixed with pharmaceutical excipients
Pharmaceutical preparations containing isophytol intermediates shift to Chapter 30.
If different acyclic terpene alcohol (not isophytol)
Other specified acyclic terpene alcohols have separate 10-digit statistical suffixes.

Isophytol 95% Technical Grade
Isophytol is an acyclic terpene alcohol (3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol) used primarily as a key intermediate in vitamin E (tocopherol) synthesis. This technical grade product, at 95% purity, falls under HTS 2905.22.2000 as it matches the chemical definition of isophytol in the acyclic terpene alcohols subheading. It is supplied as a viscous, colorless to pale yellow liquid for industrial chemical applications.
Isophytol Stabilized for Storage
Isophytol with BHT stabilizer added for long-term storage stability, permitted under Chapter 29 note (f). Remains classified as pure isophytol (HTS 2905.22.2000) since stabilizer is solely for preservation. Used in fine chemical manufacturing for tocopherol production.
Synthetic Isophytol from Citral
Isophytol produced via citral condensation and reduction, identical to natural-derived product chemically. Classified under HTS 2905.22.2000 regardless of synthetic origin, as a separate chemically defined compound. ≥97% purity for vitamin E intermediate applications.
