Nitration Grade Toluene from United States
Nitration Grade Toluene is a high-purity form of toluene refined specifically for nitration reactions to produce intermediates for explosives and pharmaceuticals. It remains a separate chemically defined organic compound (C6H5CH3) and is classifiable under tariff item 2902.30.00. The chapter notes permit impurities, so the specialized purity grade does not change classification.
