About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 2905.13.00.00, specifically covers butan-1-ol, also known as n-butyl alcohol. It falls under the broader classification of saturated monohydric alcohols, which are acyclic organic compounds containing a single hydroxyl (-OH) group. Butan-1-ol is a primary alcohol with a four-carbon chain, distinguished by its linear structure.

Within the "Saturated monohydric alcohols" group, this code is distinct from its siblings that classify other simple alcohols. For example, 2905.11 covers methanol, 2905.12.00 covers propanols, and 2905.16.00 and 2905.17.00.00 address longer-chain octanols and dodecan-1-ol, hexadecan-1-ol, and octadecan-1-ol, respectively. Category 2905.14, "Other butanols," would encompass isomers of butanol, such as isobutanol (2-methylpropan-1-ol), sec-butanol (butan-2-ol), and tert-butanol (2-methylpropan-2-ol), which are not covered by the specific n-butyl alcohol classification here.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 2905.13.00.00. This means that all goods classifiable as butan-1-ol (n-Butyl alcohol) will be directly assigned to this specific code, provided they meet the chemical definition. The classification is based on the identity of the chemical compound itself, rather than its specific purity, denaturing agents, or end-use applications, which are generally not differentiating factors at this level.
