Alternative Classifications

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

2711.19.00Same rate: 25%

If classified as 'other gaseous hydrocarbons' not specifically butanes

Customs may interpret strict butane definition excluding certain C4 isomers.

3814.00.50Higher: 41% vs 25%

If pre-mixed with other organic solvents

Propellant blends with >50% solvents become organic composite solvents.

2901.10Lower: 10% vs 25%

If ultra-high purity >99% for chemical synthesis

Saturated acyclic C4 hydrocarbons of Chapter 29 purity classify separately from fuel-grade LPG.
