Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If normal paraffins C10+ content predominates
Petroleum oils from refining processes classified by Chapter 27 when not separated pure olefins.
If isoprene, butadiene, or piperylene derivatives
Specific unsaturated hydrocarbons listed earlier in subheading take precedence.
If mixed with drilling mud additives
When used as industrial additive mixtures rather than pure compound.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include GC-MS analysis verifying >98% purity to distinguish from petroleum distillates
• Stabilizer additions must be declared; excess may trigger reclassification per Chapter note 1(f)
• Bulk liquid shipments require proper IMO classification (UN 1993); verify tank compatibility
