Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2915.70.01Lower: 40% vs 40.8%

If classified primarily by saturated acyclic alcohol function

The diol backbone might suggest 2915 classification, but Chapter 29 rule requires latest numerical heading for multi-function compounds.

3824.99.39Lower: 35% vs 40.8%

If for masterbatch formulations with carrier resin

When pre-dispersed in polymer carrier (>50% additive), classified as plastic additive preparations rather than pure chemical.

Import Tips & Compliance

Label shipments with exact CAS number (123-66-0 equivalent structure) and batch purity to match the specific HTS subheading

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'antioxidant mixture' which shifts to 3824; specify as pure compound

Comply with REACH/TSCA registration proofs for polymer additives entering US markets
