Cumene-Derived Acetone (Industrial Grade)
High-purity acetone produced via the cumene process, containing at least 99.5% acetone with minimal impurities. This acyclic ketone without other oxygen functions is derived in whole or in part from cumene, fitting precisely under HTS 2914.11.10.00. Primarily used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not derived from cumene
Pure acetone not produced via cumene process falls under the general acetone provision earlier in the same heading.
If when imported as mixture with >70% acetone and other substances
Acetone mixtures exceeding 70% concentration are classified as chemical preparations in Chapter 38 rather than pure compounds.
If containing >50% by weight of petroleum oils or bituminous minerals
Acetone-based solvents with significant petroleum content shift to Chapter 27 for light oils.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cumene derivation through supplier certificates or process documentation, as required for this specific subheading
• Ensure proper hazardous material labeling and shipping papers compliant with DOT and IMDG regulations
• Avoid misclassification as general acetone (2914.11.2000) by confirming cumene origin to prevent duty reassessment
