Last updated: April 2026 dataHeading 270799 captures a broad range of residual coal tar distillation products not covered by the more specific headings, including light oil (2707991000), picolines (2707992000), phenol-rich fractions (2707995100, 2707995500, 2707995800, 2707995900), carbon black feedstock (2707999010), and other miscellaneous oils and products (2707999090). Canada is the dominant supplier, with South Africa, France, Japan, and Germany also among the top sources — reflecting the global distribution of coking and coal tar processing capacity. The phenol-fraction lines require particular attention to hydroxybenzene content by weight, as the threshold determines which 10-digit line applies.

The US schedule distinguishes phenol fractions by composition: 2707995100 applies when the product contains more than 50% by weight of hydroxybenzene (phenol); 2707995500 covers cresol isomers (meta, ortho, para, and meta/para blends) at 75% or more purity; and 2707995800 and 2707995900 cover other phenol fractions not meeting those thresholds. A certificate of analysis showing the hydroxybenzene or cresol content by weight is essential for correct line selection.
Carbon black feedstock is a heavy aromatic oil derived from coal tar distillation, specifically processed to serve as the raw material for manufacturing carbon black — a reinforcing agent used in tires and rubber goods. It is distinguished from other residual oils in this heading by its high aromatic content and viscosity profile. Importers should obtain a product specification sheet confirming the feedstock designation, as misclassification into a petroleum-derived feedstock heading (under 2710) is a common error.
