Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in gaseous form post-vaporization
Regasified natural gas imported via pipeline would fall under other gaseous hydrocarbons if not liquefied.
If chemically treated as prepared additive
Natural gas treated with odorants or stabilizers exceeding 50% may be seen as chemical preparations.
