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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >50% toluene instead
Predominance of toluene over xylenes shifts classification to 2707.10 within the same coal tar oils heading.
If blended as prepared chemical additive
Mixtures with additives for specific uses (e.g., PET feedstock blends) may classify as chemical preparations under Chapter 38.
If post-purification beyond coal tar grade
Once chemically separated to near 100% purity, it becomes an organic chemical under Chapter 29, not a distillation product.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide petrochemical specs and distillation origin docs; CBP may test for aromatic/non-aromatic ratio to confirm 2707.30 eligibility
• Label containers with UN 1307 hazmat details and flash point data, as p-xylene is flammable
