Last updated: August 2026 dataAllyl alcohol (2-propen-1-ol, classified at 2905291000) and other unsaturated monohydric alcohols not elsewhere specified are reactive chemical intermediates used in resin synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and specialty polymer production. Allyl alcohol's high reactivity and toxicity make it subject to hazardous materials transport regulations, adding a compliance layer beyond standard customs entry. India and Japan are the leading US suppliers under this heading, with China also a significant source. Importers should confirm that Safety Data Sheets and proper UN hazard classifications accompany shipments, as carrier and port-of-entry handling requirements apply.

117 import shipments a month
Allyl alcohol is classified as a hazardous material due to its flammability and acute toxicity. Shipments must comply with IMDG (sea) or IATA (air) dangerous goods regulations, and carriers may impose additional handling requirements. The importer of record should ensure proper UN packaging, labeling, and emergency response documentation are in order before the shipment arrives at the US port of entry.
The 10-digit line 2905291000 is reserved specifically for allyl alcohol (2-propen-1-ol). Any other unsaturated monohydric alcohol not separately enumerated in the schedule — including higher-chain or branched unsaturated alcohols — defaults to the basket provision at 2905299000. Consulting a licensed customs broker with access to CBP binding ruling precedents is advisable when the compound's classification is not immediately clear.
