2905.16.00.50 - Other

This HTS classification, 2905.16.00.50, covers octanol (octyl alcohol) and its isomers that do not fall under more specific subheadings. Octanols are saturated monohydric alcohols containing eight carbon atoms. This category is designed to capture those octanol isomers that are not explicitly listed elsewhere, serving as a residual classification for this group of compounds.

Within the broader category of octanol and its isomers, 2905.16.00.10 specifically classifies 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol. Therefore, this classification (2905.16.00.50) is distinguished by its inclusion of all other octanol isomers and the parent octanol compound itself, excluding the specifically enumerated 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol. The key differentiator lies in the specific structural arrangement of the carbon chain and the position of the hydroxyl group if it deviates from that of 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2905.16.00.50 is determined by identifying a saturated monohydric alcohol with eight carbon atoms that is not 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol. Examples could include n-octanol (1-octanol) or other isomeric forms like 2-octanol, 3-octanol, or 4-octanol, provided they meet the general criteria of saturated monohydric alcohols with eight carbon atoms.
