About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 2914.12.00.00, specifically covers butanone, also commonly known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Butanone is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sharp, sweet odor. It is an acyclic ketone characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group located on the second carbon atom of a four-carbon chain. MEK is primarily used as a solvent for various substances, including resins, nitrocellulose, lacquers, and adhesives, due to its strong solvency power.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 2914.11 covers acetone, a simpler ketone with a three-carbon chain and the carbonyl group on the second carbon. 2914.13.00.00 identifies 4-methylpentan-2-one (methyl isobutyl ketone), which is a branched-chain acyclic ketone with six carbon atoms. The "Other" category, 2914.19.00.00, serves as a residual category for all other acyclic ketones not specifically enumerated. Therefore, 2914.12.00.00 is precisely for butanone (MEK) based on its specific chemical structure and nomenclature.

As this classification node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2914.12.00.00. Classification at this level is definitive for butanone itself. This means that any product conforming to the definition of butanone will be classified here, irrespective of minor variations in purity or form (e.g., anhydrous or containing small amounts of water), provided it remains identifiable as butanone.
