More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the blend is derived from petroleum refining
Petroleum-derived xylene blends are classified under heading 27.10, not coal tar products.
If the product is pure p-xylene as a separate compound
Separate chemically defined isomers are excluded from Chapter 27 by Note 1.
If sold as a formulated extraction solvent mixture with additives
Prepared chemical products for industrial use may fall under heading 38.24.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the xylene isomer ratio and distillation origin to demonstrate compliance with the 50% xylenes threshold
• Ensure the product is not a separate chemically defined compound, as that would shift classification to Chapter 29
• Verify if the solvent meets Canadian pharmaceutical-grade standards for your intended use
