Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains significant ethane or propane fractions
Natural gas with volatile matter exceeding natural gas specs shifts to other petroleum gases under 2711.12.
If imported as part of gas turbine fuel system
When bundled as a complete fuel system for turbines, it may be classified by apparatus rather than the gas content.
