Products classified under HTS 2712.90.20.00
Slack Wax for Asphalt Production
Slack wax, a byproduct of petroleum refining with high oil content, used as a flux in asphalt manufacturing. Classified under HTS 2712.90.2000 as other petroleum waxes not further refined. It meets the 'other' category for unprocessed mineral waxes.
Lignite Wax Flakes
Wax extracted from lignite coal through solvent processes, supplied in flake form for adhesives. Falls under HTS 2712.90.2000 as other mineral waxes from coal derivatives. Meets chapter definition for processed lignite products.
Synthetic Petroleum Wax Beads
Fischer-Tropsch synthesized wax beads mimicking petroleum properties for cosmetics. Under HTS 2712.90.2000 as similar products obtained by synthesis. Chapter covers synthetic equivalents to mineral waxes.
Colored Paraffin Wax for Modeling
Pre-colored paraffin wax sticks for children's modeling crafts. Falls under 2712.90.2000 explicitly allowing colored products. Used in educational non-toxic craft sets.
Montan Wax Powder
Micronized montan wax (lignite derivative) powder for industrial coatings. Processed 2712.90.2000 product from brown coal extraction. Provides gloss and hardness in paints.
Ceresin Wax Slabs
Ozokerite-based ceresin wax slabs for encaustic painting and restoration. Refined mineral wax under 2712.90.2000. High fusion point for artistic applications.
Slack Wax Deoiled Residue
Partially deoiled slack wax residue for rubber processing. 2712.90.2000 'other' petroleum wax not fully refined. Provides tackiness in tire compounds.
Peat Moss Wax Extract
Wax extracted from peat moss for waterproofing textiles. Processed peat wax in 2712.90.2000. Natural hydrophobic properties enhanced.
Paraffin Wax Microbeads
Microscopic paraffin wax beads for cosmetic exfoliants (pre-ban). 2712.90.2000 petroleum wax product. Note: Current regulations restrict use.
Hard Wax for Surfboards
Base coat hard paraffin/micron crystalline wax blend for surfboards. Ships as wax, not applied. 2712.90.2000 colored wax product.
Industrial Ozokerite Grease Base
Ozokerite wax used as thickener base for high-temp greases. Bulk 2712.90.2000 mineral wax. Not final grease product.
Paraffin Wax Candles
These are household pillar candles made primarily from paraffin wax, a petroleum-derived wax obtained through refining processes. They fall under HTS 2712.90.2000 as paraffin wax products, whether or not colored, used for illumination. The wax provides the structural base and burning properties typical of this category.
Microcrystalline Petroleum Wax Pellets
Pelletized microcrystalline petroleum wax used in industrial packaging and cosmetics formulation. This refined product from petroleum residues falls under 2712.90.2000 as 'other' mineral waxes. Its high viscosity distinguishes it from standard paraffin.
Ozokerite Mineral Wax Blocks
Natural ozokerite wax mined and processed into blocks for candle and polish production. This earth wax qualifies under 2712.90.2000 as other mineral waxes obtained by synthesis or processes. Its high melting point defines its use.
Peat Wax Emulsion
Water-based emulsion of peat-derived wax used in leather treatments. Classified in 2712.90.2000 as other peat waxes processed for industrial application. The emulsion form still qualifies as the base wax product.
