U.S. exports of liquefied petroleum gases & other gaseous hydrocarbons (not elsewhere specified) (HS 271119) totaled $20.5M in July 2026.
Importers of Liquefied Petroleum Gases & Other Gaseous Hydrocarbons (Not Elsewhere Specified) paid $6K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $57K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataHigh-purity liquefied ethane at minimum 95 liquid volume percent (2711190010) is the commercially significant line within this residual heading, capturing a product that has grown in importance as a US petrochemical and export commodity — though here it appears as an import line. The second line (2711190020) catches other liquefied gaseous hydrocarbons not classified elsewhere. Canada is the dominant supplier, consistent with its role as the primary source of NGL streams entering the US. France and South Korea also appear among the top suppliers, suggesting some trade in specialty or high-purity gas streams from industrial gas producers.

The 95% purity floor for line 2711190010 captures chemical- or export-grade ethane, which is the specification required by most steam crackers for ethylene production. Lower-purity ethane streams that do not meet this threshold would fall into the NESOI line (2711190020) or potentially into a different heading depending on composition. Importers should obtain a certificate of analysis confirming liquid volume purity before selecting the tariff line.
Industrial gas companies and specialty chemical producers in France and South Korea manufacture high-purity hydrocarbon gases for laboratory, semiconductor, and chemical synthesis applications. These specialty streams — which may not fit neatly into the propane, butane, or olefin headings — are the type of product likely to appear in the NESOI line. Importers of such specialty gases should confirm classification with a licensed customs broker, as the correct heading depends on precise chemical composition.
