High-Purity Carbazole Powder (98%)

This is a refined carbazole powder with a purity exceeding 98% by weight, derived from high-temperature coal tar distillation where aromatic constituents predominate. It falls under HTS 2707.99.40.00 due to its carbazole content meeting or exceeding the 65% purity threshold and its classification as a coal tar distillation product. Primarily used in the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals.

If mixed with other chemicals as a preparation

Carbazole in chemical preparations or mixtures falls under prepared binders or chemical products, not pure aromatic distillates.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify purity certification via lab analysis (e.g

• HPLC) to confirm ≥65% carbazole content for classification under 2707.99.40.00

• Provide manufacturer's distillation process documentation proving aromatic dominance to avoid reclassification
