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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If produced synthetically from petroleum rather than coal tar
Petroleum-derived cresols are classified as phenols in Chapter 29, not coal tar products of Chapter 27.
If purity is below 75% by weight
Lower purity cresols remain under 2707.99 but in the general 'other phenols' subheading without the high-purity specification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide supplier's certificate of analysis showing ≥75% purity and coal tar source; ensure proper UN packaging for corrosive liquids (UN2076); check for REACH-like compliance if transshipping via EU
