Coal Tar Pitch for Carbon Black Production from Germany
Heavy viscous residue from high-temperature coal tar distillation, rich in aromatic hydrocarbons where aromatics exceed non-aromatics by weight. Specifically formulated as feedstock for carbon black manufacturing via partial oxidation or thermal cracking processes. Classified under HTS 2707.99.90.10 due to its role as carbon black feedstock within coal tar distillates.

Import Tips
• Verify aromatic content exceeds non-aromatic by weight via ASTM D3238 testing to confirm 2707 classification
• Obtain certificate of analysis showing suitability as carbon black feedstock to avoid reclassification as general coal tar oil
• Ensure proper UN hazardous material shipping documentation (Class 3 flammable liquid) for safe import clearance
