Products classified under HTS 2906.21.00.00
Benzyl Alcohol USP Grade
Pharmaceutical-grade benzyl alcohol (C6H5CH2OH) meeting USP standards, used as a preservative and solvent in injectable medications and topical formulations. Classified under HTS 2906.21.00.00 as it is the pure aromatic cyclic alcohol benzyl alcohol without further derivatization. This chemically defined compound falls squarely within Chapter 29's scope for separate organic compounds.
Industrial Benzyl Alcohol 99% Pure
High-purity benzyl alcohol used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and ink manufacturing. This aromatic cyclic alcohol (HTS 2906.21.00.00) is a separate chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 note (a). Supplied in bulk drums without additives that would alter its general-purpose classification.
Cosmetic Grade Benzyl Alcohol
Benzyl alcohol refined for cosmetic applications as a preservative in lotions and fragrances, with purity suitable for skin contact. Falls under HTS 2906.21.00.00 as pure aromatic benzyl alcohol, a separate chemically defined organic compound. Not put up in retail forms that would exclude it from Chapter 29.
Benzyl Alcohol with Stabilizer
Stabilized benzyl alcohol containing <0.1% antioxidants for extended shelf life during transport. HTS 2906.21.00.00 applies per Chapter 29 note 2(f) allowing stabilizers necessary for preservation without changing general use character. Remains classified as the pure base compound.
Pharma-Grade Benzyl Alcohol in Water Solution 10%
10% benzyl alcohol aqueous solution prepared for pharmaceutical dilution and safety transport. Classifies under HTS 2906.21.00.00 per Chapter 29 note 2(d) for products of (a) dissolved in water. Solvent does not render it suitable for specific use beyond general solvent properties.
Technical Grade Benzyl Alcohol Drum Pack
Technical grade benzyl alcohol (98% min) packaged in 55-gallon drums for industrial solvent applications. Pure aromatic cyclic alcohol under HTS 2906.21.00.00 as chemically defined compound without excluded additives. Bulk packaging maintains general industrial use classification.
Benzyl Alcohol for Epoxy Resin Solvent
High-boiling benzyl alcohol specifically effective as reactive diluent and solvent in epoxy resin formulations. Classifies as pure benzyl alcohol HTS 2906.21.00.00; end-use doesn't affect chemical classification per HTS rules. Chemically defined aromatic alcohol without Chapter 29 exclusions.
Purified Benzyl Alcohol for Perfumery
Low-odor purified benzyl alcohol used as co-solvent in perfume formulations before fragrance blending. HTS 2906.21.00.00 as pure compound; not yet rendered 'particularly suitable for specific use' by odor additions per Chapter 29 note 2(g). Supplied bulk to compounders.
Benzyl Alcohol Pharmaceutical Intermediate
GMP-manufactured benzyl alcohol serving as key intermediate for pharmaceutical API synthesis. Pure aromatic alcohol HTS 2906.21.00.00 per Chapter 29 as chemically defined compound used generally in synthesis. Trace impurities do not affect classification.
Stabilized Benzyl Alcohol for Export
Benzyl alcohol with transport stabilizer (BHT <0.05%) for safe long-distance shipping in ISO tanks. Chapter 29 note 2(f) permits classification under HTS 2906.21.00.00 as stabilizer necessary for preservation. General solvent remains principal character.
