Monohydric Alcohols, Not Elsewhere Specified

SITC 51219 captures monohydric alcohols that do not fall into the more specifically defined headings — a residual category that can include specialty alcohols such as amyl alcohols, hexanols, decanol, dodecanol at non-industrial grades, and various synthetic or fermentation-derived alcohols used in flavors, fragrances, and fine chemical synthesis. Because this is a catch-all classification, correct assignment requires confirming that the specific alcohol in question is not more precisely classifiable under another SITC heading, making pre-entry classification review particularly important. Purity, carbon chain length, and intended end-use are the primary variables that customs authorities examine when auditing entries under this residual code.
