Import Tips & Compliance
• Avoid 'ready-to-use in paints' labeling to prevent Chapter 38 shift
• Provide end-use statement if requested by CBP
• Batch test for ash content <0.1%
Related Products under HTS 2905.42.00.00
Pentaerythritol Technical Grade 99%
Pentaerythritol is a white, crystalline polyhydric alcohol (C(CH2OH)4) used primarily in the production of alkyd resins for paints and coatings. This technical grade product, with 99% purity, falls under HTS 2905.42.00.00 as it is a separate chemically defined acyclic polyhydric alcohol meeting Chapter 29 note (a).
Pentaerythritol USP Grade
Pharmaceutical-grade pentaerythritol meeting USP standards for use in drug synthesis and as a stabilizer in formulations. Classified under HTS 2905.42.00.00 as a pure acyclic polyhydric alcohol per Chapter 29 definitions, even with stabilizers for safety if not rendering it for specific use.
Monopentaerythritol 98% Min
High-purity monopentaerythritol, the primary isomer of pentaerythritol, used in synthetic lubricants and explosives manufacturing. Falls under HTS 2905.42.00.00 as a chemically defined acyclic polyhydric alcohol, distinguishing it from technical mixtures.
Pentaerythritol with 0.1% Calcium Carbonate Stabilizer
Pentaerythritol stabilized with minimal calcium carbonate anticaking agent for transport and preservation. HTS 2905.42.00.00 applies per Chapter 29 note (f) allowing stabilizers necessary for preservation without changing general use suitability.
Dipentaerythritol Byproduct Pentaerythritol
Pentaerythritol containing minor dipentaerythritol impurities from synthesis, still classified as primary pentaerythritol product. Meets HTS 2905.42.00.00 as it is predominantly the chemically defined compound with allowable impurities.
Pentaerythritol Flakes 99.5% Purity
Flaked form of high-purity pentaerythritol for easier handling in resin production. Classified under HTS 2905.42.00.00 as the physical form does not affect its status as a separate chemically defined acyclic polyhydric alcohol.
