- No tariff line names this chemical, so we worked out its likely heading from its structure: 2905, acyclic alcohols and their derivatives (alcohol group).
- 31 of 35 lines under heading 2905 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- No 8-digit line under heading 2905 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2905 14 90 (Other butanols › Other); 2905 16 90 (Octanol (octyl alcohol) and isomers thereof › Other); 2905 19 90 (Octanol (octyl alcohol) and isomers thereof › Other); 2905 22 90 (Acyclic terpene alcohols › Other); 2905 29 00 (Unsaturated monohydric alcohols › Other); and 4 more.
