Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with propane exceeding specified ratios
Propane-butane mixtures are directed to the butanes subheading, based on commercial blending practices.
If prepared as a chemical reagent or industrial preparation
Gases marketed for lab or specialized chemical use may classify as preparations under Chapter 38 rather than raw petroleum gases.
If imported filled in disposable lighter cartridges for retail
Assembled lighter refills with integral components become parts of lighters under Chapter 84.
