2914.11.10.00 - Derived in whole or in part from cumene

This HTS subheading covers acetone that is derived in whole or in part from cumene. Acetone is a common organic solvent known for its volatility and characteristic odor. Its primary uses include being a precursor to various chemicals, a solvent in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and plastics manufacturing, and a component in nail polish removers. The "derived from cumene" clause is a critical identifying factor for goods falling under this specific classification.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2914.11.50.00, which encompasses "Other" acyclic ketones without other oxygen function. While 2914.11.10.00 is specifically for acetone with a defined origin from cumene, the "Other" category would include all other acyclic ketones not meeting this specific origin criterion or other defined subheadings, as well as acetone not meeting the cumene derivation requirement.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into 2914.11.10.00 is final for acetone that demonstrably originates from the cumene process, as per the defined scope of the parent categories.
