Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing phosphine or other Chapter 28/29 impurities
Other nonmetal gases or phosphides fall under 2853 if not pure oxygen.
If chemically defined with stabilizers for long-term storage
Stabilized preparations of oxygen may shift to 3824 as chemical preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide military specification certificates and ensure 99.5%+ purity levels
• Use cylinders certified for aviation pressures (typically 1800-2200 psi)
• Common issue: improper valve compatibility causing customs holds

Medical Grade Oxygen USP
High-purity oxygen meeting United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for medical applications such as respiratory therapy and anesthesia. Classified under HTS 2804.40.00.00 as elemental oxygen, a nonmetal gas, in its chemically pure form without additives.
Industrial Compressed Oxygen Gas
Pure oxygen gas compressed to high pressure for use in welding, cutting, and metal fabrication processes. Falls under HTS 2804.40.00.00 as chemically defined elemental oxygen, distinct from mixtures or compounds.
Liquid Oxygen LOX
Cryogenically liquefied oxygen at -183°C used for rocket propulsion, medical cryotherapy, and industrial freezing. Remains under HTS 2804.40.00.00 as the elemental nonmetal oxygen regardless of physical state.
High-Purity Research Oxygen-18 Isotope
Enriched oxygen-18 stable isotope gas (>97% purity) for PET imaging tracers and metabolic research. Still classified under HTS 2804.40.00.00 as oxygen, since stable isotopes of nonmetals remain in Chapter 28 unless radioactive.
