Overview

This HTS category, 2906.21.00.00, specifically classifies Benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol characterized by a phenyl group attached to a methyl group, which in turn is bonded to a hydroxyl group. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor and is widely used as a solvent, preservative, and fragrance ingredient in a variety of industrial and consumer products.

Within the broader classification of "Aromatic cyclic alcohols and their derivatives," this subcategory distinguishes Benzyl alcohol by its specific chemical structure and common nomenclature. It stands apart from its sibling category, 2906.29, which is designated for "Other" aromatic cyclic alcohols not specifically enumerated elsewhere. Therefore, any aromatic alcohol that does not fit the precise definition and common name of Benzyl alcohol would typically fall under the "Other" classification.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2906.21.00.00 is definitive for Benzyl alcohol itself. Importers and exporters should confirm the identity of the substance through chemical analysis or manufacturer documentation to ensure accurate classification, particularly when dealing with mixtures or derivatives that may require separate HTS consideration.
