Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold as liquefied petroleum gas
Liquefied butanes shift to specific LPG subheadings, differing by physical state at import.
If processed into lighter ignition fuels with additives
Prepared lamp lighters or paraffin-based igniters move to Chapter 34 for processed fuels.
If for industrial use as mixed hydrocarbon gases
Mixed gases for specific applications like welding classify under 3817 as chemical mixtures.
