Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If liquefied petroleum gas mixture containing >90% propylene/butylene
Petroleum gases fall under Chapter 27 when supplied as LPG mixtures rather than separated pure compounds.
If ethylene content exceeds specification thresholds
Pure ethylene is specifically provided for earlier in the same heading, taking precedence per chapter note 3.
If imported as chemical mixture with additives exceeding Chapter 29 limits
Mixtures not qualifying as separate chemically defined compounds per Chapter 29 note 1(a) shift to Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming purity and acyclic unsaturated structure to avoid misclassification
• Ensure proper UN hazard labeling as flammable liquid; common pitfall is inadequate flash point documentation
• Declare exact carbon chain length and double bond position for statistical reporting accuracy
