Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If refined to pharmaceutical grade
High purity (>99%) naphthalene becomes Chapter 29 unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon.
If insecticide herbicide prep
Formulated pesticide products containing naphthalene classify under Chapter 38.
If unprocessed coal residue
If not distilled but raw coal with naphthalene, may fall under Chapter 27 coals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include chromatograph analysis proving >50% naphthalene to avoid 2707.99 downgrade
• Declare in metric tons with barrel equivalents if applicable per chapter US note
• Pre-clear with binding ruling if purity borderline to prevent duty disputes
