Industrial Grade m-Xylene 99% Purity
High-purity m-xylene (meta-xylene) with over 99% concentration by weight, derived from high-temperature coal tar distillation. Classified under HTS 2707.30.00.10 because it contains more than 50% m-xylene by weight, meeting the subheading note for xylenes. Primarily used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and chemical synthesis.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If aromatic content does not exceed non-aromatic constituents
Products from coal tar distillation where non-aromatics outweigh aromatics fall under the residual xylenes subheading.
If synthetically produced rather than coal tar distilled
Synthetic cyclic hydrocarbons like m-xylene are classified in Chapter 29 for organic chemicals, not Chapter 27.
If mixed with other chemicals as a formulated preparation
Chemical mixtures or preparations not predominantly one aromatic may shift to Chapter 38 for chemical products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure proper UN classification (UN 1307) for hazardous material shipping
• Verify purity certificate to confirm >50% m-xylene content per subheading note; non-compliance may lead to reclassification
• Declare exact chemical composition and CAS number (108-38-3) to avoid customs holds on aromatic hydrocarbons
