Overview
This category, HTS Code 2915.39.45, encompasses esters of acetic acid that are neither Linalyl acetate (2915.39.40.00) nor n-Propyl acetate (2915.39.45.10). It specifically covers "Other" odoriferous or flavoring compounds within the broader classification of esters of acetic acid. These are typically synthetic organic compounds utilized for their aromatic or gustatory properties in various consumer products.
The distinction from the sibling category, Linalyl acetate, is straightforward: this code excludes that specific compound. While n-Propyl acetate falls under a separate, more specific subcategory (2915.39.45.10), this entry captures all other acetic acid esters that serve as odoriferous or flavoring agents. This ensures that a wide range of specialized compounds used for sensory enhancement in food, beverages, perfumes, and other applications are correctly classified.
The subcategories under 2915.39.45 provide further refinement. 2915.39.45.10 explicitly enumerates n-Propyl acetate, a common solvent and flavoring agent. The remaining "Other" subcategory (2915.39.45.50) serves as a residual classification for all other qualifying esters of acetic acid that function as odoriferous or flavoring compounds, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this specialized niche of organic chemicals.
