Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2902.90Lower: 10% vs 25%

If post-distillation purification

Advanced refining moves it from coal tar distillate to Chapter 29 as synthetic aromatic.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 25%

If sold as chemical preparation mix

Prepared chemical mixtures not purely naphthalene fall under Chapter 38 mixtures.

2710.19.90.00Higher: 32% vs 25%

If light oil distillate blend

Distillation fractions resembling light oils go to 2710 if 90% distills at 210°C.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide ISO 3405 or equivalent test results confirming aromatic constituents exceed non-aromatics

Declare exact weight percentage of naphthalene to prevent reclassification during customs exam

Ensure packaging labels distinguish from consumer mothballs to avoid retail set issues
