Liquefied Butane Fuel Mixture 92% Purity

This is a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) mixture primarily consisting of butanes at 92% liquid volume purity, with minor propane and other hydrocarbon impurities. It falls under HTS 2711.13.00.10 due to its butane content being 90% or more but less than 95% by liquid volume, distinguishing it from higher purity butanes. Commonly used as an industrial fuel or refrigerant blend.

Alternative Classifications

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

2711.12.00Same rate: 25%

If butane purity is 95% or higher

Higher purity butanes shift to 2711.12.00, as the subheading requires 95%+ liquid volume percent.

2711.11.00Same rate: 25%

If predominantly propane with butane as minor component

Propane-rich LPG mixtures (under 90% butane) classify under propane subheading 2711.11.00.

2901.10.30Higher: 35% vs 25%

If separated and purified for chemical use beyond fuel

Butanes used as chemical feedstocks (e.g., >95% pure n-butane) may fall under Chapter 29 organic chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify purity via ISO 3405 distillation test to confirm 90-95% butane content for correct classification

Include safety data sheets (SDS) and material safety certificates; ensure DOT-compliant cylinders for transport

Avoid misclassification as propane-rich mixes; common pitfall is purity threshold errors leading to audits
