Products classified under HTS 3807.00.00.00
Pine Wood Tar
Pine wood tar is a dark, viscous liquid obtained by the destructive distillation of pine wood, used primarily as a wood preservative and in traditional roofing applications. It falls under HTS 3807.00.00.00 as a classic example of wood tar derived directly from wood pyrolysis. This natural product contains phenolic compounds characteristic of wood tars.
Beechwood Creosote
Beechwood creosote is a distillate from beech wood tar, historically used as an antiseptic and wood preservative before modern regulations. Classified under HTS 3807.00.00.00 as wood creosote, it differs from coal-tar creosote by its vegetable origin. Primarily used today in niche restoration projects.
Wood Naphtha (Dry Distillation)
Wood naphtha is a crude alcohol mixture from dry distillation of hardwoods like oak or maple, containing methanol and acetic acid. It qualifies for HTS 3807.00.00.00 as specifically named wood naphtha from wood carbonization processes. Used in solvent applications and historical pyroligneous products.
Vegetable Pitch from Pine Resin
Vegetable pitch is a dark, sticky residue from processing pine resin or other plant gums, used in adhesives and waterproofing. Under HTS 3807.00.00.00 as vegetable pitch, it excludes purely petroleum pitches. Common in marine caulking and traditional cordage.
Brewers' Pitch Rosin Soap
Brewers' pitch is a rosin-based preparation used to seal fermentation tanks and clarify beer, made from resin acids emulsified with soap. HTS 3807.00.00.00 covers such similar preparations based on rosin or vegetable pitch for brewing. Essential in craft beer production for sanitary seals.
Oak Wood Tar Oil
Oak wood tar oil is the volatile fraction distilled from oak wood tar, used in flavorings, disinfectants, and leather treatments. Classified in HTS 3807.00.00.00 as wood tar oils from destructive distillation. Rich in guaiacol and other phenolic compounds.
Brewers' Pitch Preparation
A commercial brewers' pitch preparation based on rosin acids and vegetable pitch, applied hot to seal brewery vessels. Falls under HTS 3807.00.00.00 as similar preparations for brewing applications. Prevents yeast contamination in fermentation.
Pine Tar for Maritime Use
Stockholm pine tar is boiled pine wood tar used to preserve ship rigging and sails. HTS 3807.00.00.00 covers this traditional wood tar product. Applied warm for waterproofing natural fibers.
Vegetable Pitch Adhesive Base
Vegetable pitch serves as a tacky base for natural adhesives in bookbinding and paper products. Under HTS 3807.00.00.00 as derived from plant resins excluding petroleum. Provides flexibility without synthetic additives.
Rosin-Based Brewers' Sealant
Rosin-based sealant formulated with resin acids for brewery pipe joints and tank liners. HTS 3807.00.00.00 includes such preparations based on rosin for brewing. High temperature resistance essential.
Hardwood Wood Creosote USP
Pharmaceutical-grade hardwood creosote meeting USP standards for medicinal use. Still classified under HTS 3807.00.00.00 as wood creosote despite purification. Used in expectorant formulations.
Maple Wood Naphtha Extract
Crude naphtha extract from maple wood pyrolysis used in smoke flavor production. HTS 3807.00.00.00 specifically for wood naphtha. Contains characteristic wood smoke aromatics.
