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

2707.50.00Same rate: 25%

If containing over 50% aromatic compounds like xylenes

Aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures exceeding 50% of one type (e.g., xylenes) move to Chapter 27 aromatics subheadings

3814.00.50Higher: 41% vs 25%

If for organic composite solvents with chemical additives

Solvents formulated as chemical preparations shift to heading 3814 for organic composites

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit detailed hydrocarbon analysis reports to CBP to substantiate the 'not over 50% single compound' criterion

Label containers with UN numbers for proper hazmat handling during import clearance

Avoid retail packaging over 1L to prevent reclassification under consumer product rules
