1-Iodo-3-propanol from Japan
1-Iodo-3-propanol functions as an iodinated alcohol intermediate for contrast agents and fine chemicals. HTS 2905.59.90.00 captures this 'other' halogenated acyclic alcohol (iodine halogen), maintaining propanol backbone. Less common than chloro derivatives but follows same classification logic.

Import Tips
• Document iodine content precisely to avoid Chapter 28 inorganic iodide confusion
• Stabilize against light-induced decomposition with amber packaging
• Single compound verification prevents mixtures classification under 3824
