Industrial Grade o-Xylene 99% Purity
High-purity o-xylene with over 99% concentration by weight, derived from high-temperature coal tar distillation, used primarily as a feedstock in chemical manufacturing. It falls under HTS 2707.30.00.20 because it contains more than 50% o-xylene by weight and the aromatic constituents exceed nonaromatic ones. This product is essential for producing phthalic anhydride and resins.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If aromatic content does not exceed nonaromatic constituents
Products from coal tar distillation with balanced or lower aromatic components classify under the residual 'other' subheading in 2707.99.
If further purified to aromatic hydrocarbon standards beyond coal tar products
Highly refined o-xylene from petroleum sources or synthetic processes moves to Chapter 29 as cyclic hydrocarbons, excluding coal tar distillates.
If blended with other chemicals for specific formulations
Prepared chemical mixtures containing o-xylene as a component, not predominantly pure, fall under chemical preparations in Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate showing >50% o-xylene content to confirm classification under 2707.30; provide lab analysis if requested by CBP
• Ensure proper hazardous material documentation (UN 1307) and comply with DOT/IMDG regulations for flammable liquid transport
• Avoid misclassification as mixed xylene isomers, which may fall under 2707.30.00.40; specify o-xylene predominance in invoices
