Alternative Classifications

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

2905Lower: 15.5% vs 40%

If predominantly ethanol content

Acyclic alcohols over certain concentrations classify directly under heading 2905 rather than as preparations.

2710.12Lower: 17% vs 40%

If contains >50% petroleum distillates

Blends with significant petroleum content shift to Chapter 27 petroleum oils and mixtures.

3824.99Same rate: 40%

If when used as fatliquoring preparations

Specific alcohol mixtures for leather processing fall under designated fatliquoring subheadings.
