Industrial Grade Naphthalene Flakes
Naphthalene flakes with more than 50% by weight naphthalene content, derived from high temperature coal tar distillation, used primarily in chemical manufacturing. This product falls under HTS 2707.40.00.00 as it meets the subheading note definition for naphthalene exceeding 50% purity. Commonly applied in producing phthalic anhydride and dyes.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically refined to >95% purity
Highly purified naphthalene becomes a cyclic hydrocarbon under Chapter 29, excluding coal tar distillates.
If mixed with wood preservatives
Blends primarily for wood treatment shift to Chapter 38 as odoriferous wood preservatives.
If in petroleum-based mixture
Petroleum coke/other residues mixtures fall under 2713 if not coal tar dominant.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity exceeds 50% by weight via lab analysis certificate to confirm classification under 2707.40
• Include bill of lading specifying coal tar distillation origin and aromatic content dominance
• Avoid misclassification as creosote oils by documenting non-wood preservation end-use
