Liquefied Propane Gas (LPG)
Liquefied propane gas is a flammable hydrocarbon gas stored under pressure as a liquid, primarily used for heating, cooking, and as a vehicle fuel. It falls under HTS 2711.19.00 as 'other' liquefied petroleum gases, distinct from natural gas or specific named gases like ethylene.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily butane or butane-propane mixtures
Butane-rich LPG mixtures are classified separately under liquefied butanes, changing the heading based on principal component.
If saturated acyclic hydrocarbons like pure ethane dominate
Pure or high-purity acyclic hydrocarbons shift to Chapter 29 for specific chemicals, not general petroleum gases.
If imported as electrical energy equivalent via grid transmission
Gaseous energy in non-physical form may fall under electrical energy provisions, exempt from standard entry requirements.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify the gas composition via lab analysis to confirm it meets 'other' LPG criteria under 2711.19.00, avoiding misclassification as natural gas
β’ Obtain safety data sheets (SDS) and ensure DOT-compliant cylinders or tanks for transport
β’ Check for country-specific quotas or energy import licenses, as LPG may face supply restrictions
