2905.19.90 - Other

This category, HTS Code 2905.19.90, encompasses saturated monohydric acyclic alcohols and their derivatives that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the "Saturated monohydric alcohols" heading. It serves as a residual category for alcohols that do not fit into more specific subheadings under 2905.19, such as pentanol (amyl alcohol) and its isomers. The primary criterion for inclusion here is that the alcohol is acyclic, saturated, and possesses a single hydroxyl group.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2905.19.10, is crucial. While 2905.19.10 specifically enumerates pentanol (amyl alcohol) and its isomers, 2905.19.90 is for all other saturated monohydric acyclic alcohols not otherwise classified. This means that if an alcohol is a saturated, acyclic monohydric alcohol and it is not pentanol or one of its isomers, it will likely fall under this residual classification.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to provide greater specificity for common or commercially significant alcohols. For example, subcategories exist for specific alcohols like 3,3-Dimethylbutan-2-ol (pinacolyl alcohol), decyl alcohol and its isomers, and hexyl alcohol and its isomers. The existence of these subcategories indicates that these particular alcohols are frequently encountered and merit distinct tariff treatment. The ultimate subcategory, 2905.19.90.90, serves as a final residual for any remaining saturated monohydric acyclic alcohols not covered by the preceding subcategories.
