Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If glycerol in immunological product formulations
Chapter 29 excludes immunological products of 3002, even if glycerol-based.
If diagnostic reagents containing glycerol as solvent
Prepared reagents for lab analysis classify in 3822 regardless of principal component.
If sugar glycerol ethers or esters
Chemically modified glycerol derivatives fall under 2940, not parent 2905 alcohol.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit PhEur/USP certificates of analysis with entry to validate purity and prevent Chapter 38 mixture classification
• Declare exact water content; solutions qualify only if normal for safety/transport per Chapter 29 note (e)
• For bulk pharma imports, pre-clear with FDA and ensure GMP sourcing documentation
Related Products under HTS 2905.45.00.00
Refined Glycerol USP Grade
Pharmaceutical-grade glycerol, purified to USP standards for use in drug formulations, cosmetics, and food products. It is a chemically defined polyhydric alcohol falling under heading 2905 as an acyclic alcohol. This classification applies to pure glycerol meeting chapter 29 requirements for separate organic compounds.
Vegetable Glycerin 99.7% Pure
High-purity glycerol derived from vegetable oils, used in vaping liquids, food preservatives, and personal care. As a polyhydric acyclic alcohol, it precisely matches HTS 2905.45.00.00 for glycerol. Vegetable origin doesn't affect classification if chemically defined and refined.
Industrial Glycerol 99.5% Technical Grade
Technical-grade glycerol for industrial uses like antifreeze and resins, meeting minimal purity standards. As a distinct acyclic polyhydric alcohol, it falls squarely under HTS 2905.45.00.00. Stabilizers, if present, must be solely for preservation per Chapter notes.
Kosher Vegetable Glycerol FG Grade
Food-grade (FG) kosher-certified glycerol from palm, used in confectionery and beverages. Pure glycerol qualifies under 2905.45.00.00 as a polyhydric alcohol; certifications don't alter chemical classification. Meets Chapter 29 purity standards.
Glycerol with 0.2% Stabilizer
Glycerol containing minimal anticaking stabilizer for safe transport in powder-prone conditions. Allowed under Chapter 29 note (f) as necessary preservative, retaining 2905.45.00.00 classification. Remains a separate chemically defined compound.
Bio-Based Glycerol 99.9% Pure
Ultra-pure glycerol from biodiesel byproduct, refined for biotech applications. Chemically identical to synthetic glycerol, classified under 2905.45.00.00 as acyclic polyhydric alcohol. Bio-origin irrelevant if meeting Chapter 29 purity.
