Alternative Classifications

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

2905.49Lower: 15.5% vs 30.5%

If higher acyclic alcohol classification

Longer chain lengths sometimes grouped differently in statistical reporting.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 30.5%

If solvent-grade with additives

Additives for end-use render it a preparation rather than pure compound.

3402.90Lower: 13.7% vs 30.5%

If surface-active formulations

Surfactant mixtures containing diols fall under Chapter 34.
