Paint Thinner Toluene from Mexico
Paint Thinner Toluene is technical-grade toluene packaged for use as a paint thinner or surface cleaner. Even when packaged for retail sale, it remains a separate chemically defined compound (C6H5CH3) and is classifiable under tariff item 2902.30.00. Chapter note 1(f) allows added stabilizers necessary for preservation, so minimal additives do not affect classification.
