Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 2711.12.00
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Propane
Liquefied propane gas, primarily used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and industrial processes, classified under HTS 2711.12.00 as a liquefied petroleum gas. It is stored and transported under pressure in liquid form for efficient handling. Meets the criteria for propane as a gaseous hydrocarbon in liquefied state.
Commercial Propane for Forklifts
High-purity liquefied propane designed for fueling industrial forklifts and warehouse equipment, falling under HTS 2711.12.00 due to its liquefied gaseous hydrocarbon composition. Typically odorized with ethyl mercaptan for safety. Used in non-road mobile machinery applications.
Odorized Propane for Residential Use
Liquefied propane with added odorant for household heating and cooking appliances, classified in HTS 2711.12.00 as liquefied propane. The odorization aids leak detection without affecting tariff classification. Supplied in 20-lb cylinders for retail consumers.
Industrial Propane Torch Fuel
Liquefied propane packaged for use in industrial torches and welding equipment, under HTS 2711.12.00 for liquefied petroleum gases. High vapor pressure suitable for high-heat applications. Often sold in disposable 14.1 oz canisters.
Bulk Liquefied Propane Rail Car
Large-volume liquefied propane transported in DOT-113 rail tank cars for industrial distribution, classified HTS 2711.12.00. Intended for transfer to storage terminals. Measured in barrels of 158.98 liters at 15.6°C per chapter notes.
Propane for Grain Drying
Liquefied propane specifically vaporized for agricultural grain drying operations, HTS 2711.12.00. Low moisture content critical for farm use. Supplied via bulk deliveries to co-ops.
MAP Propane/Mapp Gas
Methylacetylene-propadiene propane mixture stabilized, but primarily propane base, under HTS 2711.12.00 when propane dominant. Used for high-temperature brazing. DOT UN 1060 classification.
Propane Engine Starting Fluid
Liquefied propane aerosol for cold weather engine starting, classified HTS 2711.12.00 as primary propane component. Upper cylinder lubricant additive present. 12-16 oz cans for automotive use.
Refrigerant Grade Propane R-290
High-purity propane (R-290) for use in hydrocarbon refrigeration systems, HTS 2711.12.00. <0.1% impurities for compressor safety. 99.5% minimum propane content.
Portable BBQ Propane Cylinders
16.4 lb refillable propane cylinders for portable grills and camping, under HTS 2711.12.00. DOT 4BA approved containers. Standard consumer propane fuel.
