Importers of Gaseous Hydrocarbons in the Gaseous State, N.E.S. paid $7K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 8.6% on $87K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataResidual gaseous hydrocarbons not elsewhere specified under SITC cover a range of industrial and specialty gas streams that fall outside the named petroleum gas categories. Classification here typically applies to minor-volume or mixed hydrocarbon gases used in chemical feedstock, refrigerant blending, or specialty industrial applications. Importers should confirm HTS alignment carefully, as the boundary between this residual heading and named petroleum gases (such as ethane, propane, or butane) turns on precise chemical composition and physical state at the time of entry.

Classification depends on the predominant component by volume or the essential character of the mixture. If no single named hydrocarbon predominates, the shipment may fall into the residual 'not elsewhere specified' category; a licensed customs broker or CBP ruling can confirm the correct heading.
Importers generally need a detailed chemical composition certificate (often a gas chromatography analysis), a safety data sheet, and standard commercial entry documents. DOT hazardous materials regulations also apply to compressed or liquefied gas shipments.
