Cyclohexane (Petroleum Derived) from Mexico
Cyclohexane is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon derived from benzene hydrogenation using petroleum-based feedstocks. Although cyclic, it falls under HTS 2901.10.40.00 when specified as acyclic-like in petroleum context, but primarily 2902.90; cross-check confirms acyclic saturated for petroleum sources. Used in nylon production.

Import Tips
• Confirm acyclic vs cyclic status via molecular structure certificate
• Use stainless steel containers only; cyclohexane attacks carbon steel
• Monitor peroxide formation; require inhibitor presence documentation
