Products classified under HTS 2915.21.00.00
Glacial Acetic Acid 99.8%
Glacial acetic acid is a highly concentrated, pure form of acetic acid (99.8% purity) with minimal water content, classified under HTS 2915.21.00.00 as a separate chemically defined saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid. It is widely used in chemical synthesis, vinegar production, and as a reagent in laboratories.
Industrial Acetic Acid 80% Solution
An 80% aqueous solution of acetic acid used in textile dyeing and polymer production, classified under HTS 2915.21.00.00 as chemically defined acetic acid per chapter note 2(d) allowing water dissolution. It meets the pure compound criteria without rendering it for specific use.
ACS Reagent Grade Acetic Acid
High-purity acetic acid meeting American Chemical Society standards for laboratory analysis, classified as a separate chemically defined organic compound under HTS 2915.21.00.00. It contains no impurities affecting its monocarboxylic acid nature.
Food-Grade Acetic Acid 99%
Purified acetic acid suitable for food processing like vinegar concentration, classified under HTS 2915.21.00.00 as a chemically defined compound not excluded by chapter notes on ethyl alcohol or food products. Purity ensures it's not vinegar.
Pharmaceutical Acetic Acid USP
United States Pharmacopeia-grade acetic acid for drug manufacturing, classified under HTS 2915.21.00.00 as a saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid meeting chapter purity standards. Excludes immunological products per note 2(e).
Technical Grade Acetic Acid 98%
Technical-grade 98% acetic acid for industrial applications like plastics and solvents, a pure chemically defined compound under HTS 2915.21.00.00. Impurities are minimal and do not alter classification.
Synthetic Acetic Acid from Methanol Carbonylation
Acetic acid produced via methanol carbonylation process, identical to natural forms chemically, classified under HTS 2915.21.00.00 as a separate organic compound regardless of production method.
Dilute Acetic Acid 10% Lab Reagent
10% acetic acid solution for educational labs, allowed under HTS 2915.21.00.00 per note 2(d) as water-dissolved chemically defined product not for specific use.
High-Purity Acetic Acid for Semiconductors
Ultra-pure acetic acid (99.999%) for electronics etching, still a chemically defined acetic acid under HTS 2915.21.00.00 as purity doesn't change heading.
Acetic Acid with Emetic Additive
Acetic acid with added emetic for safety identification, classified under HTS 2915.21.00.00 per note 2(g) as addition doesn't render specific use.
