Furnace black is a type of carbon black produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products in a furnace, resulting in finely divided amorphous carbon particles. It falls under HTS 2803.00.0010 as a chemically defined form of carbon black used primarily as a reinforcing filler in rubber products like tires. This high-surface-area pigment provides strength and abrasion resistance.

Import Tips

• Verify purity and particle size specs via Certificate of Analysis to confirm classification as carbon black under Chapter 28, avoiding misclassification as pigments

• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documenting non-hazardous amorphous carbon status; bulk shipments require proper dust control labeling
