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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If technical glycerol with added dust suppressants beyond Chapter 29 limits
Anti-dusting agents rendering it suitable for specific use exclude it from Chapter 29 per note (g).
If glycerol contaminated with halogenated impurities
Halogenated derivatives of acyclic alcohols classify under 2903, not 2905.
If glycerol formulated as organic composite solvent
Solvent mixtures for specific applications fall outside pure Chapter 29 compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include stabilizer declarations; anti-caking agents allowed only if necessary for transport (Chapter 29 note f)
• Test for halogen/sulfur impurities that could shift to 2930 organo-sulfur classification
• Bulk shipments require proper UN packaging certification for flammable liquid handling

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.
Glycerol Pharmaceutical Grade PhEur
European Pharmacopoeia-compliant glycerol for medicinal applications like cough syrups and suppositories. This refined, chemically pure polyhydric alcohol is classified under 2905.45 as 'glycerol' per HTS hierarchy. Meets Chapter 29 criteria for separate organic compounds.
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
