Alternative Classifications

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

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 28%

If sold as a formulated mixture for specific industrial use

Prepared additives or mixtures not qualifying as pure phenols go to Chapter 38 as chemical preparations.

2907.29.25.00Higher: 40.5% vs 28%

If for synthetic metaparacresol not from coal tar

Non-coal tar phenolic isomers are covered under Chapter 29's other phenols subheading.

Meta-Cresol 98% Pure Industrial Grade

Meta-cresol (m-cresol) with 98% purity by weight, derived from high-temperature coal tar distillation, used primarily in the production of resins, disinfectants, and herbicides. It falls under HTS 2707.99.55.00 because it is a phenolic compound from coal tar with aromatic constituents exceeding nonaromatic ones and meets the 75% purity threshold.

Ortho-Cresol 85% Purity Coal Tar Derived

Ortho-cresol (o-cresol) at 85% weight purity from coal tar distillation, commonly used in synthetic resins, wire enamels, and as an intermediate for herbicides. Classified under HTS 2707.99.55.00 due to its high purity and origin as a coal tar phenol where aromatics predominate.

Para-Cresol 92% High Purity Grade

Para-cresol (p-cresol) with 92% purity, obtained from coal tar, serving as a key raw material for antioxidants, fragrances, and pharmaceutical intermediates. It qualifies for HTS 2707.99.55.00 as a high-purity coal tar phenol with dominant aromatic content.
