Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as 'other gaseous hydrocarbons' not specifically butanes
Customs may interpret strict butane definition excluding certain C4 isomers.
If pre-mixed with other organic solvents
Propellant blends with >50% solvents become organic composite solvents.
If ultra-high purity >99% for chemical synthesis
Saturated acyclic C4 hydrocarbons of Chapter 29 purity classify separately from fuel-grade LPG.
