Fuel Gas Mixtures (C3+ Hydrocarbons)

Mixed gaseous hydrocarbons (C3 and higher) used as industrial fuel gas, not fitting specific LPG or olefin categories. HTS 2711.29.00 covers these 'other' petroleum gases in gaseous state, derived from refining processes. Excludes natural gas and named gases per hierarchy.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2711.12.00Same rate: 25%

If propane/butane mix qualifies as LPG

Mixtures meeting LPG definition (propane/butane) go to 2711.12.00 for liquefied gases.

2709.00Lower: 10% vs 25%

If primarily petroleum oils vaporized

Vaporized crude oils or similar classify under 2709.00.00, not pure gaseous hydrocarbons.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Submit compositional analysis showing no dominance of butane/propane to avoid LPG reclassification

β€’ Ensure manifests specify gaseous state and barrel equivalents if measured

β€’ Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain origins

Related Products under HTS 2711.29.00

Propane Gas

Propane is a flammable hydrocarbon gas commonly used for heating, cooking, and as a vehicle fuel, supplied in gaseous state under pressure. It falls under HTS 2711.29.00 as a petroleum gas and other gaseous hydrocarbon that is neither liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) nor natural gas, nor ethylene, propylene, butane, or butylene. This classification applies to propane in its gaseous form at import.

Industrial Propylene Gas

High-purity propylene gas used in chemical manufacturing for plastics and synthetic fibers, delivered in gaseous state. Classified under HTS 2711.29.00 as 'other' gaseous hydrocarbons excluding specifically named olefins like pure propylene in certain contexts, but applicable here for industrial grades. Meets chapter definitions for petroleum-derived gases.

Hydrogen-Rich Refinery Off-Gas

Off-gases from petroleum refineries containing hydrogen and light hydrocarbons (C2+), used in hydrocracking processes, imported gaseous. Falls under HTS 2711.29.00 as 'other' gaseous hydrocarbons from petroleum sources, not specified elsewhere. Complies with chapter notes excluding electrical energy.

Isobutylene Gas

Isobutylene, a branched C4 olefin gas used in synthetic rubber production, supplied in gaseous state. HTS 2711.29.00 applies as 'other' gaseous hydrocarbons, excluding linear butylene but capturing branched variants not specifically named. Derived from petroleum cracking.

Ethane/Propane Blend Gas

Gaseous blend of ethane and propane for petrochemical feedstock, not qualifying as natural gas or LPG. Classified in HTS 2711.29.00 for other gaseous hydrocarbons in gaseous state from petroleum. Used in ethylene production plants.

C4+ Refinery Fuel Gas

Tail gas from refinery processes with C4+ hydrocarbons, burned as fuel in gaseous form. HTS 2711.29.00 captures these as other petroleum gases not elsewhere specified. Excludes biodiesel per chapter notes.
