Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the anthracene oil is a crude coal tar distillation product with a high boiling range
Crude coal tar oils may be classified in Chapter 27 as products of coal tar distillation.
If the anthracene is isolated as a separate chemically defined compound
Separate chemically defined aromatic hydrocarbons fall under Chapter 29.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the anthracene oil is free of any separate chemically defined compounds, as those would be classified elsewhere
• Provide a certificate of analysis to the CBSA to confirm the coal tar origin and composition
• Verify that the product is not used as a fuel, which would fall under Chapter 27
