The product concerned is benzyl alcohol (also known as phenylmethanol, benzenemethanol, phenylcarbinol, or hydroxyethylbenzene), an aromatic alcohol normally classified under CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) number 100-51-6 and CUS (Customs and Statistics) number 0011660-9, currently falling within CN code 2906 21 00 and originating in the People’s Republic of China.
