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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If predominantly m-xylene (>80%)
Mixtures dominated by meta-xylene classify under the specific m-xylene heading rather than generic mixed isomers.
If pre-mixed with butyl acetate for retail paint thinner
Ready-to-use solvent mixtures for specific applications become organic composite solvents of 3814 rather than base chemicals.
If imported in gasoline blending stocks
Xylene mixtures intended for fuel use fall under petroleum spirit headings in Chapter 27.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) showing <1% benzene content to meet OSHA/TSCA requirements; use steel drums or IBC totes certified for UN1262; declare as 'solvent naphtha' only if documentation supports mixed xylene composition
Related Products under HTS 2902.44.00.00
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.
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.
Xylene Isomer Mix for Resin Dilution
Commercial grade mixed xylenes used to adjust viscosity in alkyd resin production. Falls under HTS 2902.44.00.00 as it comprises inseparable mixture of xylene isomers, chemically defined per Chapter 29 note (a), with typical composition 25% o-xylene, 50% m-xylene, 25% p-xylene.
Commercial Mixed Xylenes (Solvent Grade)
Solvent-grade mixed xylene isomers meeting ASTM D235 specifications for general industrial cleaning and extraction processes. Classified in HTS 2902.44.00.00 as mixed xylene isomers, distinct from single-isomer products or petroleum mixtures. Purity typically 97% minimum total xylenes.
