Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3820.00.00.00Lower: 24% vs 40.5%

If anti-freeze preparations containing anti-knock additives

Antifreeze compounds with performance additives beyond stabilizers classify as Chapter 38 preparations.

2905.31.00.00Same rate: 40.5%

If ethylene glycol rather than propylene glycol

Different diol isomers (ethane-1,2-diol) fall under separate subheading 2905.31.

3907.91Lower: 16.5% vs 40.5%

If polymerized into polypropylene glycol

Polymer derivatives exceed molecular weight limits for acyclic alcohol classification.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include GC-MS analysis confirming ≥99% propane-1,2-diol content to prevent Chapter 38 reclassification

Declare flash point (107°C) and proper shipping name 'Propylene glycol' per DOT regulations

Check REACH/ TSCA registration status for industrial chemical import compliance
