Allyl Alcohol 99% Pure
Allyl alcohol (CAS 107-18-6) is an unsaturated monohydric acyclic alcohol used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the production of glycerol and pharmaceuticals. It falls under HTS 2905.29.10.00 as a separate chemically defined organic compound that is an unsaturated monohydric alcohol, specifically allyl alcohol. This classification applies to the pure substance without impurities affecting its chemical definition.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If saturated equivalent like prenol
Saturated acyclic monohydric alcohols fall under 2905.22, but allyl alcohol's C=C double bond makes it unsaturated for 2905.29.
If formulated as industrial mixture or solvent blend
Mixtures not qualifying as Chapter 29 solutions move to Chapter 38; pure allyl alcohol remains in 2905 as chemically defined compound.
If halogenated derivative like allyl chloride
Halogenated acyclic alcohols classify under 2903; non-halogenated allyl alcohol stays in 2905 for oxygen-function alcohols.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate (≥99%) and CAS number 107-18-6 on shipping documents to confirm classification under 2905.29.10.00
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) showing it's not diluted beyond Chapter 29 note (e) limits or prepared for specific end-use
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as mixture if stabilizers exceed preservation/transport needs per Chapter Note (f)

Industrial Allyl Alcohol Technical Grade
Technical grade allyl alcohol (95-98% purity) serves as a raw material for resins, plasticizers, and herbicides. Classified under HTS 2905.29.10.00 as it meets the definition of allyl alcohol, an unsaturated monohydric acyclic alcohol, with allowable impurities not changing its chemical identity per Chapter Note (a).
Pharma-Grade Allyl Alcohol USP Equivalent
High-purity allyl alcohol (≥99.5%) suitable for pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, such as in glycerol derivatives. Falls under 2905.29.10.00 as a separate chemically defined unsaturated acyclic monohydric alcohol per Chapter 29 notes.
Stabilized Allyl Alcohol with Hydroquinone Inhibitor
Allyl alcohol stabilized with 0.1% hydroquinone to prevent polymerization during storage and transport. HTS 2905.29.10.00 applies as the stabilizer is necessary for preservation per Chapter Note (f), maintaining its status as chemically defined allyl alcohol.
Allyl Alcohol Aqueous Solution 70%
70% allyl alcohol in water solution, qualifying under Chapter Note (d) as a chemically defined compound dissolved in water. Classified in HTS 2905.29.10.00 rather than mixtures due to note provisions.
