Industrial Grade Mixed Xylene Isomers
A mixture of ortho, meta, and para xylene isomers obtained from petroleum refining, used primarily as a solvent in paints, coatings, and adhesives. This product falls under HTS 2902.44.00.00 as it consists of mixed xylene isomers, which are cyclic hydrocarbons specifically provided for in this subheading. The mixture is not separated into pure isomers, distinguishing it from single isomer classifications.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as component of light naphtha or gasoline blend
Crude mixtures containing xylenes as part of petroleum distillates fall under Chapter 27 for hydrocarbons from petroleum, not separated pure/pure-mixed chemicals.
If formulated as organic composite solvent with additives
When mixed with other solvents or additives exceeding simple mixtures, it may classify as organic composite solvents rather than pure mixed xylene isomers.
If predominantly o-xylene (>90% purity)
Separation into primarily one isomer (o-xylene) moves it from mixed isomers to the specific xylene isomer heading in 2902.41.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and isomer composition via certificate of analysis to confirm classification; ensure proper UN-approved packaging for flammable liquids (Class 3); declare exact flash point and vapor pressure to avoid hazmat surcharges

Technical Grade Mixed Xylenes (C8 Aromatics)
Technical grade mixture of xylene isomers (typically 20-25% ortho, 50% meta, 25% para) used in printing ink manufacturing and as a diluent in resins. Classified under HTS 2902.44.00.00 because it is a chemically defined mixture of xylene isomers per Chapter 29 note (a), not separated into individual isomers. Commonly traded as C8 aromatic solvent.
Mixed Xylene Solvent for Paint Thinners
High-purity mixed xylene isomers (95%+ total xylenes) packaged for use in formulating paint thinners and varnishes. This product is specifically classifiable under HTS 2902.44.00.00 as mixed xylene isomers, a separate chemically defined organic compound per Chapter 29 notes. The end-use as solvent does not affect its chemical classification.
