2905.16.00.10 - 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol

This HTS subheading specifically classifies 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol. This is an eight-carbon, saturated, acyclic monohydric alcohol, commonly used as a plasticizer, in the production of lubricants, and as a solvent. Its chemical structure is characterized by a primary alcohol group attached to the first carbon of a branched six-carbon chain.

Distinguishing this specific isomer from its sibling category, 2905.16.00.50 "Other," is crucial. While both fall under the broader classification of octanol and its isomers, this subheading is precisely for 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol due to its unique chemical identity and commercial significance. The "Other" category would encompass any other octanol isomers not specifically listed.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 2905.16.00.10. Therefore, classification under this code relies solely on the definitive identification of the substance as 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol, typically confirmed through chemical analysis or accompanying documentation such as a Certificate of Analysis. The established physical and chemical properties of 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol are the primary classification determinants.
