2905.14.50.50 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS 2905.14.50.50, encompasses a variety of saturated monohydric alcohols that do not fall under the more specific subcategories of "butanols." These are alcohols containing a single hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a saturated aliphatic carbon chain, with a total of four carbon atoms, but which are not specifically identified as 2-methylpropan-1-ol (isobutyl alcohol). The classification is designed to capture residual butanol isomers and derivatives not explicitly enumerated elsewhere within this section.

Unlike its sibling category, 2905.14.50.10, which specifically identifies 2-methylpropan-1-ol (isobutyl alcohol), this "Other" category serves as a catch-all for other butanol isomers and related compounds. The distinction often hinges on the specific arrangement of the carbon chain and the position of the hydroxyl group within the four-carbon structure. For instance, n-butanol (butan-1-ol) or sec-butanol (butan-2-ol) would typically fall under this residual classification if not specifically listed.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within HTS 2905.14.50.50. Consequently, classification at this level relies on a detailed analysis of the chemical structure and properties to confirm that the substance is indeed a saturated monohydric alcohol with four carbon atoms and does not meet the specific criteria for any other preceding subheading within the butanol classification. This designation is crucial for ensuring accurate import and export declarations.
