Liquefied Propylene Gas
Liquefied propylene gas is a flammable hydrocarbon stored under pressure as a liquid for transportation and use. It falls under HTS 2711.14.0020 as a liquefied petroleum gas specifically classified as propylene, distinct from other gases like ethylene or butylene.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If a mixture primarily of propane
Propane-dominant liquefied petroleum gases shift to the propane subheading regardless of minor propylene presence.
If polymer-grade with high purity
Ultra-pure propylene used directly for polymerization may classify as unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons under Chapter 29.
If imported in gaseous non-liquefied state
Non-liquefied propylene falls under other petroleum gases, excluding the liquefied category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and composition via lab analysis to confirm >50% propylene content meeting HTS criteria
• Obtain proper DOT/UN hazardous material certifications for safe transport of liquefied gases
• Avoid misclassification as natural gas mixtures by providing detailed spec sheets to CBP
