2905.19.90.10 - Decyl alcohol and isomers thereof

This HTS category, 2905.19.90.10, specifically covers decyl alcohol and its isomers. Decyl alcohol is a saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol with a ten-carbon chain. This classification encompasses all isomers of decyl alcohol, meaning compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements, as long as they fit the description of a saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol. These compounds are often used as intermediates in the production of plasticizers, surfactants, and lubricants, or as solvents.

This subcategory distinguishes itself from its siblings by its specific carbon chain length. While 2905.19.90.05 covers 3,3-Dimethylbutan-2-ol (a shorter chain alcohol with branching) and 2905.19.90.20 covers hexyl alcohol (a shorter chain alcohol), this heading is dedicated to alcohols with a ten-carbon chain. The residual category, 2905.19.90.90, serves as a catch-all for other saturated monohydric acyclic alcohols not otherwise specified in this particular "Other" grouping.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2905.19.90.10 is determined by the chemical identity of the substance, confirming it is decyl alcohol or one of its isomers, and that it meets the broader criteria for saturated monohydric acyclic alcohols under heading 2905.19.
