Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If 95%+ saturated acyclic hydrocarbons purity
Ultra-high purity butane (>95% acyclic saturates) for chemical synthesis may classify as acyclic hydrocarbons in Chapter 29.
If specifically isobutane rather than n-butane
Heading distinguishes isobutane (2-methylpropane) in .0010 from other butanes including n-butane in .0020.
If imported pre-filled as refrigerant gas in refrigeration equipment
Butane charged into refrigerators or AC units imports as complete refrigeration equipment, not separate gas.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Require Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) verifying <0.5% impurities to prevent classification disputes
• Comply with 49 CFR hazardous materials regulations; use proper placarding for DOT Class 2.1
• Avoid common error of declaring cylinder tare weight instead of net butane content
