Overview
This classification covers Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), a specific acyclic ether derived from monohydric alcohols. MTBE is a volatile organic compound primarily used as a fuel additive to increase octane rating and reduce knocking. Its distinct chemical structure and primary application differentiate it within the broader category of acyclic ethers.
Within the "Other" subcategory for acyclic ethers of monohydric alcohols, 2909.19.14.00 is specifically dedicated to MTBE. This contrasts with its sibling category, 2909.19.18.00, which is designated for "Other" acyclic ethers of monohydric alcohols that do not fall under the specific designation of MTBE. Therefore, precise identification of MTBE's chemical composition and intended use is crucial for accurate classification.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2909.19.14.00. Classification at this level hinges on the definitive identification of Methyl tertiary-butyl ether. Importers and exporters should ensure that documentation clearly specifies MTBE to avoid misclassification.
