2915.39 - Other:

This HTS classification, 2915.39, encompasses esters of acetic acid that are not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings. These are organic compounds derived from the reaction of acetic acid with various alcohols or phenols, resulting in a broad spectrum of chemical substances. This category is designed to capture those acetic acid esters that do not fit the specific classifications for ethyl acetate (2915.31), vinyl acetate (2915.32), n-butyl acetate (2915.33), or dinoseb acetate (2915.36).

The distinguishing factor for classification within 2915.39 lies in the absence of a more precise HTS code for the specific acetic acid ester in question. If an acetic acid ester is a common industrial solvent, a flavoring agent, or used in specific chemical processes but is not among the explicitly listed sibling categories, it will fall under this residual classification. The focus for classification here is on the molecular structure and the absence of specific identifying features that would place it into a more narrowly defined sibling category.

The subcategories for 2915.39 further refine the classification by distinguishing between aromatic and other esters. The "Aromatic" subcategory is intended for acetic acid esters where the alcohol or phenol component is aromatic in nature. The "Other" subcategory, conversely, is for all remaining acetic acid esters not fitting the aromatic description, thus encompassing a wide array of aliphatic or alicyclic esters of acetic acid. This division allows for a more granular approach to classifying the diverse range of substances that fall under the broad umbrella of "other" acetic acid esters.
