2914.11.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 2914.11.50.00, covers "Other" acyclic ketones without other oxygen function, specifically falling under the broader category of acetone. This designation is applied to acetone that is not derived in whole or in part from cumene, which is addressed by the sibling category 2914.11.10.00. Therefore, this classification is for acetone produced through alternative synthesis methods or of a nature not specified in the cumene-derived category.

Acetone is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. It is a highly polar aprotic solvent widely used in various industrial and consumer applications. Its primary uses include acting as a solvent for plastics and synthetic fibers, in paint removers, and as a precursor in the production of other chemicals. The distinction from its sibling lies solely in the origin or manufacturing process of the acetone, rather than its inherent chemical properties or end-use.

As a leaf node, 2914.11.50.00 does not have further subcategories. The classification is definitive for acetone that meets the criteria of being an acyclic ketone without other oxygen function, and is not derived from cumene. Importers and exporters should ensure their documentation clearly indicates the absence of cumene in the manufacturing process to ensure accurate classification.
