Aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures; n.e.c. in heading no. 2707, of which 65% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 250 degrees Celsius by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method)

HS code 270750 covers: Aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures; n.e.c. in heading no. 2707, of which 65% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 250 degrees Celsius by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method). This category encompasses specific aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures, not elsewhere specified in heading 2707, characterized by a high distillation point (65% or more by volume distilling at 250 degrees Celsius). These mixtures are typically derived from petroleum or coal tar and are valued for their solvent properties and as chemical feedstocks. They are extensively used in the production of paints, coatings, printing inks, and as process solvents in various industrial applications. The trade involves specialized chemical companies and distributors, with transactions often driven by the demand from manufacturing sectors. The precise composition and distillation range are critical for proper classification and application, making quality control a significant aspect of their international trade.

Heavy aromatic solvent naphtha, C9 aromatic solvent, high-boiling aromatic mixtures, coal tar solvent, petroleum aromatic distillates, industrial solvent blends

These mixtures are often confused with specific pure aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., xylene or toluene under 2902) or other coal tar products (2707.99) if the 'mixture' aspect and distillation criteria are not strictly met.

HS code 270750 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (27) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (07) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (50) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
