Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If predominantly mixed xylenes with pseudocumene impurity
Xylene mixtures (dimethylbenzenes) are specifically provided for in 2902.43, taking precedence over general 'other' cyclic hydrocarbons.
If for light naphtha fractions containing pseudocumene
Petroleum-derived light oils from petroleum distillation fall under Chapter 27, not pure chemicals of Chapter 29.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include GC-MS analysis certificates verifying ≥98% pseudocumene content to distinguish from lower purity grades
• Declare exact flash point (48°C) and vapor pressure for proper hazmat shipping classification
