Liquefied Petroleum Gases & Gaseous Hydrocarbons (NESOI)

Ethane and other liquefied gaseous hydrocarbons not elsewhere specified are key feedstocks for petrochemical crackers and industrial fuel applications. The US tariff schedule distinguishes high-purity ethane (minimum 95% liquid volume, 2711190010) from all other liquefied petroleum gases and gaseous hydrocarbons (2711190020), a split that matters for classification and duty treatment. Canada dominates US import supply under this heading, with France and South Korea also among the leading sources. Importers should note that purity thresholds and precise hydrocarbon composition drive correct 10-digit classification.
