Polymer-Grade Propylene from China
High-purity propene (propylene) used as a primary feedstock in the production of polypropylene plastics for packaging, automotive parts, and consumer goods. It falls under HTS 2901.22.00.00 as a separate chemically defined acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon. This classification applies to bulk industrial-grade propylene meeting polymerization specifications.

Import Tips
• Verify purity levels (>99.5%) via certificate of analysis to confirm HTS classification; ensure proper storage in refrigerated tankers to prevent polymerization; declare exact isomer content to avoid reclassification under mixtures
