Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sugar ether/acetal rather than polyhydric alcohol ether
Sugar ethers specifically provided for in heading 2940 take precedence.
If parent sugar alcohol
Unmodified sorbitol and mannitol classified as polyhydric alcohols in 2905.
If chemical mixture containing sorbitol ethers
Prepared chemical mixtures containing polyol ethers fall under residual Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Include NMR spectrum or etherification analysis to confirm complete substitution
ā¢ Small volume research chemicals need research exemption declarations
ā¢ Verify not sugar ether of heading 2940 which would supersede classification
