Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other aromatics dominate
Coal tar fractions with aromatics but not >50% toluene fall under residual 2707.99 subheading.
If propane-propylene contaminated
Mixed hydrocarbon gases with toluene traces shift to liquefied petroleum gases in 2711.
