The US schedule assigns propan-1-ol (n-propyl alcohol) to 2905120010 and propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) to 2905120050. Correct identification of the isomer is required at entry; a certificate of analysis or safety data sheet confirming the compound's identity is standard supporting documentation.
Pharmaceutical-grade IPA intended for use in drug manufacturing or as an active ingredient in OTC hand sanitizers falls under FDA oversight. Importers should ensure the product meets USP or equivalent purity specifications and that the foreign manufacturer is registered with FDA if the IPA is destined for drug product use.
