Products classified under HTS 2707.99.90.90
Creosote Oil
Creosote oil is a dark, thick liquid derived from the distillation of high temperature coal tar, primarily used for wood preservation in railroad ties and utility poles. It falls under HTS 2707.99.90.90 as an other oil from coal tar distillation where aromatic constituents exceed nonaromatic ones. This classification distinguishes it from more specific coal tar distillates like benzene or naphthalene.
Coal Tar Pitch
Coal tar pitch is the heavy residue from high temperature coal tar distillation, rich in aromatics and used in roofing, aluminum smelting, and electrode manufacturing. Classified under HTS 2707.99.90.90 as an other product where aromatics outweigh nonaromatics. It differs from lighter distillates like benzol or toluol.
Anthracene Oil
Anthracene oil is a coal tar middle oil fraction containing anthracene and other polycyclic aromatics, used in dye and pharmaceutical production. It qualifies for HTS 2707.99.90.90 due to its distillation origin and dominant aromatic content. Not pure enough for specific subheadings like naphthalene.
Phenolic Oil from Coal Tar
Phenolic oil, rich in phenols like cresols and xylenols, is distilled from high temperature coal tar for disinfectants and resins. HTS 2707.99.90.90 applies as an aromatic-dominant product not specified elsewhere in 2707. Its coal tar source and composition confirm the classification.
Carbazole Oil
Carbazole oil from coal tar distillation contains carbazole and other nitrogen heterocyclics, used in dyes, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. It fits HTS 2707.99.90.90 as an other coal tar product with aromatics exceeding nonaromatics. Distinguished by its heavy oil fraction status.
Wash Oil (Heavy Solvent Naphtha)
Wash oil, also called heavy solvent naphtha, absorbs light oils from coal gas and is redistilled from coal tar for solvent use. Classified in HTS 2707.99.90.90 for its aromatic-rich profile from coal tar. Used in benzene recovery processes.
Middle Oil from Coal Tar
Middle oil is an intermediate distillation fraction from coal tar containing naphthalene, phenols, and aromatics for chemical synthesis. HTS 2707.99.90.90 covers it as other aromatic-dominant products. Not pure enough for 2707.10-2707.40 specifics.
Neutral Oils from Coal Tar
Neutral oils are non-acidic, aromatic hydrocarbon fractions from coal tar distillation used as plasticizers and extenders. Falls under HTS 2707.99.90.90 due to aromatic preponderance and unspecified status. Common in rubber and ink industries.
Fluorene-Rich Coal Tar Distillate
Fluorene-rich distillate from coal tar high-temperature processing contains fluorene for pharmaceuticals and polymers. HTS 2707.99.90.90 applies as other aromatic products from coal tar. Its polycyclic nature confirms aromatic dominance.
Pyridine Bases Fraction
Pyridine bases fraction from coal tar contains pyridine, picolines, and lutidines used in agrochemicals and solvents. Classified HTS 2707.99.90.90 for coal tar aromatic products, though borderline heterocyclic. Aromatic constituents still dominate.
