U.S. imports of saturated monohydric alcohols (other) (HS 290519) totaled $7.3M in April 2026, traded with 23 countries.
Importers of Saturated Monohydric Alcohols (Other) paid $874K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $6.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPentanol, decyl alcohol, hexanol, pinacolyl alcohol, and related saturated acyclic monohydric alcohols fall under this heading, each serving distinct industrial roles — from plasticizer and solvent production to pharmaceutical intermediates. The US schedule breaks out specific isomers at the 10-digit level, including 2905191000 (pentanol/amyl alcohol), 2905199010 (decyl alcohol), 2905199020 (hexanol), and 2905199005 (pinacolyl alcohol, a controlled precursor chemical subject to additional regulatory scrutiny). Germany leads US supply, with Mexico and India also significant sources, reflecting both European specialty chemical manufacturing and lower-cost Asian production. Importers should verify correct isomer classification, as misidentification between closely related alcohols can affect duty treatment and chemical control compliance.

Pinacolyl alcohol (2905199005) is a recognized chemical weapons precursor listed under the Chemical Weapons Convention schedules. Importers must comply with Commerce Department export/import controls and may need to obtain permits or file additional documentation beyond standard customs entry.
Classification at the 10-digit level depends on the specific carbon chain length and structural isomer of the alcohol. Amyl alcohol and its isomers go to 2905191000, hexanol isomers to 2905199020, and decyl alcohol isomers to 2905199010. Residual saturated monohydric acyclic alcohols not elsewhere specified fall to 2905199090 or 2905199095. A licensed customs broker or chemist familiar with IUPAC nomenclature should confirm the correct line.
