Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically synthesized toluene-derived
Toluene oxidation products classify as separate aromatics in Chapter 29, distinct from distillation mixtures.
If petroleum light oils for solvents
90%+ distilling at 210°C petroleum products go to 2710.12 per subheading notes.

p-Xylene (Para-Xylene) Industrial Solvent
High-purity p-xylene, containing more than 50% by weight of xylenes as per subheading 2707.30 notes, used primarily as a solvent in paints, coatings, and chemical manufacturing processes. It falls under HTS 2707.30.00.30 due to its derivation from high-temperature coal tar distillation and aromatic dominance over non-aromatic components. This specific isomer is key for industrial applications requiring precise solvency properties.
Purified p-Xylene for PET Resin Production
Refined p-xylene meeting >50% xylenes threshold from coal tar sources, essential precursor for terephthalic acid in PET bottle and fiber manufacturing. Classified under HTS 2707.30.00.30 as a coal tar distillation product where aromatics exceed non-aromatics. Its high purity supports polymer-grade applications in packaging and textiles.
Technical Grade p-Xylene from Coal Tar
Technical-grade p-xylene from high-temperature coal tar distillation, with xylenes >50% by weight, used in adhesive formulations and as a diluent in inks. HTS 2707.30.00.30 applies due to its aromatic-heavy composition from coal tar processes. Ideal for cost-effective industrial solvent needs.
High-Purity p-Xylene Solvent Blend
p-Xylene dominant (>50% xylenes) blend from coal tar distillation, used in pharmaceutical extraction solvents. HTS 2707.30.00.30 due to aromatic content and coal tar source. Balances purity with cost for lab and industrial use.
