Alcohol/gasoline mixture

This product is a bulk mixture composed of 70% ethyl alcohol and 30% gasoline conforming to standard EN 228, intended for use as a raw material in the manufacture of vehicle fuels. The mixture is mainly used in the petrochemical industry as a fuel component (type E70). It generally falls under tariff headings 2207 or 3814 depending on the content and use, and is subject to regulations on energy products, legislation on hazardous substances (ADR, REACH), and excise control.

A concentrated ethyl alcohol-based liquid antifreeze additive with denaturants (benzoate of denatonium, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol or methyl ethyl ketone, and surfactants), unsuitable for human consumption, transported in bulk (tanks, cisterns), intended for industrial use only, subject to regulations on denatured alcohol and chemical safety (REACH, dangerous goods transport if applicable).

The product is a concentrate intended for the manufacture of antifreeze liquid, mainly composed of ethyl alcohol (90 to 99.9% by weight), supplemented with denaturants (benzoate of denatonium, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol or methyl ethyl ketone, and surfactants), rendering it unfit for human consumption. It is transported in bulk (tanks, cisterns) and not packaged for retail sale. Strictly for industrial use, it is subject to regulations concerning denatured alcohol and chemical safety (REACH, dangerous goods transport if applicable). The classification considers the chemical composition, intended use, and regulatory framework applicable to such products.

Dec 20, 2013

Liquid mixture consisting of 90% ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and 10% ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) by weight, transported in bulk.

This is a liquid product transported in bulk, composed of 90% ethanol and 10% ETBE by weight. It is primarily intended for use as a fuel component (gasoline), notably for the energy and transport sectors. Its classification is subject to regulations concerning energy products, possible excise duties, and REACH requirements for chemical substances and transport safety, in accordance with Regulation 70/2013.

Alcoholic mixture / essence

This classification concerns a product composed of a mixture of alcohol and essence. According to Regulation (EU) No 211/2012, the customs classification is determined based on the predominant nature and use of the product. The product's composition, intended use, and properties are examined to assign the correct tariff heading within the Combined Nomenclature (CN). The relevant rules of interpretation (RGI) and legal provisions are applied to establish the appropriate tariff subheading and applicable customs duties. If the mixture is primarily alcohol, it may fall under CN heading 22.08; if it is primarily essence, it may be classified under a different heading depending on its specific composition and use. The precise classification requires detailed composition data and intended use, in accordance with the Union Customs Code (UCC) and its implementing and delegated regulations.

Ethanol-based liquid mixture

The product is a liquid mixture primarily composed of ethanol (>90%), water (less than 7.4%), ethylene glycol (1.3%), and butanone (1.3%), packaged in small and large containers (1 L, 3 L, 100 L). Its presentation indicates use as a ready-to-use or diluted product, notably as an antifreeze or de-icing liquid for various applications, likely automotive or industrial. Given its high alcohol content and components, it is subject to customs legislation on chemical substances, REACH regulation, and potentially to fiscal and safety restrictions related to the storage and transport of denatured ethanol.

Item 1: Blend, consisting of ethyl alcohol (88,5 %), ethyl acetate (5 %), and water. Ethyl acetate, which has been added to the blend, is regarded as a denaturant

Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 2207 and 2207 20 00 The addition of ethyl acetate renders the product unfit for human consumption but not for industrial purposes. It is a denatured ethyl alcohol of heading 2207 Documented CN 2026 code: 22072000.

Jan 25, 2002

Item 2: Blend, consisting of ethyl alcohol (approximately 90 %), ethyl acetate (approximately 5 %), and aldehydes, higher alcohols and water. Ethyl acetate, which has been added to the blend, is regarded as a denaturant

Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 2207 and 2207 20 00 The addition of ethyl acetate renders the product unfit for human consumption but not for industrial purposes. It is a denatured ethyl alcohol of heading 2207 Documented CN 2026 code: 22072000.
