Products classified under Tariff item 2901.21.00.00
Cryogenic Liquid Ethylene
Cryogenic liquid ethylene is pure ethylene (C2H4) maintained in a liquefied state at approximately -103°C for efficient bulk transport. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound, and its physical state does not alter its classification under tariff item 2901.21.00.
2901.21.00Ethylene Calibration Gas 1.0%
This candidate is a mixture of 1.0% ethylene in nitrogen, used as a calibration gas. Chapter 29 note 1 covers separate chemically defined compounds and specific solutions, but this diluted mixture is not a normal method of putting up ethylene for its general use; it is specifically prepared for calibration, thus it does not meet the criteria for classification under this chapter.
2901.21.00Ethylene for Ethylbenzene Production
Ultra-high purity ethylene (99.99%) intended for ethylbenzene production is a separate chemically defined organic compound. Its specific end-use does not affect classification; it remains ethylene under tariff item 2901.21.00.
2901.21.00Ethylene for Fruit Ripening (Technical Grade)
Technical grade ethylene gas (98%+) for fruit ripening is a separate chemically defined organic compound, even with impurities. Chapter 29 note 1(a) allows for impurities, so this product falls under tariff item 2901.21.00.
2901.21.00Ethylene for LDPE Autoclave Process
Specially purified ethylene for LDPE autoclave production is a separate chemically defined compound. The low metal and sulfur content does not change its classification; it remains ethylene under tariff item 2901.21.00.
2901.21.00Medical Grade Ethylene for Anesthesia
Medical grade ethylene for anesthesia is a separate chemically defined organic compound, even if it meets USP standards. The product is still ethylene and falls under tariff item 2901.21.00, provided it is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale as a pharmaceutical product.
2901.21.00Polymer Grade Ethylene
Polymer grade ethylene (99.9%+) is a separate chemically defined organic compound used as a monomer. Its high purity and intended use do not affect classification; it falls under tariff item 2901.21.00.
2901.21.00Research Grade Ethylene 99.999%
Research grade ethylene (99.999%) is a separate chemically defined organic compound. The ultra-high purity is within the scope of Chapter 29 note 1(a), so it is classified under tariff item 2901.21.00.
2901.21.00Vinyl Chloride Monomer Feedstock Ethylene
High-purity ethylene for vinyl chloride monomer production is a separate chemically defined organic compound. The low moisture specification does not affect classification; it remains ethylene under tariff item 2901.21.00.
