Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If actually ethylene glycol despite labeling
Ethylene glycol has separate specific subheading earlier in numerical order.
If assay <95% with multiple impurities
Lower purity shifts to chemical mixtures NESOI.
If petroleum-derived but meets petroleum oil criteria
Petroleum oils and similar hydrocarbon mixtures take precedence over Chapter 29.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Drum labeling must include technical name, concentration, and flash point for DOT hazardous materials
• ISO tank imports require additional tank inspection certificates beyond standard chemical docs
