Liquid Nitrogen Cryogenic
Liquefied nitrogen (LIN) at -196°C in Dewar flasks or bulk tanks for cryopreservation and cooling applications. HTS 2804.30.00.00 applies to nitrogen in any physical state (gas or liquid) as a nonmetal element. Chapter notes confirm elemental classification regardless of form.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If stabilized with organic substances or as a complex mixture
Stabilized preparations or non-pure forms may classify under 2853 per chapter exclusions.
If primarily methane with nitrogen impurities (natural gas)
Natural gas liquids dominated by hydrocarbons fall in Chapter 27, not pure nonmetals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Comply with cryogenic shipping regs (UN1977); include MSDS and purity analysis
• Pitfall: confusing with LNG (natural gas) which is hydrocarbons under Chapter 27
