Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blended with >2% other solvents or additives for specific industrial use
Mixtures of organic solvents not purely n-butyl acetate fall under prepared chemical mixtures in Chapter 38 rather than pure compounds of Chapter 29.
If imported specifically as a solvent in paint or varnish formulations
Solvents incorporated into paint/varnish preparations are classified with the finished paint product under Chapter 32 per note exclusions.
If contains organic additives functioning as paint/ink additives
Organic composite solvents with additive functions are classified in heading 3814, not as pure esters.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming 99% purity and n-butyl acetate composition to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38
• Ensure UN-approved packaging for flammable liquids (Class 3) with proper Hazard Class 3 labeling and SDS documentation
• Verify CAS number 123-86-4 on all shipping documents to match HTS specificity and prevent customs holds
