HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 2707.50 – 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 2707.50 is the 6-digit subheading for 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). It is used for heavy aromatic solvent naphtha, C9 aromatic solvent, high-boiling aromatic mixtures, coal tar solvent and petroleum aromatic distillates.
What HS 2707.50 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 2707.50
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 270750, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 270750 in UN Comtrade data was Türkiye, with 11% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Ecuador, with 27% of world imports. The Netherlands reports $16.9B of its chapter 27 exports without product detail (confidential), so its figure here may be too low and it may rank higher.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).

Questions about HS 2707.50
What is HS code 270750?
HS code 270750 is a 6-digit subheading in the Harmonized System that 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).

What products fall under HS code 270750?
Heavy aromatic solvent naphtha, C9 aromatic solvent, high-boiling aromatic mixtures, coal tar solvent, petroleum aromatic distillates, industrial solvent blends
What are common misclassifications for HS code 270750?
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 270750?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 270750 in UN Comtrade data were Türkiye ($969M, 11% of world exports), Germany ($796M) and the Netherlands ($747M). World exports came to about $8.7B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). The Netherlands reports $16.9B of its chapter 27 exports without product detail (confidential), so its figure here may be too low and it may rank higher.
Which countries are the top importers of goods under HS code 270750?
In 2025, the top importers of HS code 270750 in UN Comtrade data were Ecuador ($2.2B, 27% of world imports), the Netherlands ($1.3B) and Singapore ($903M). World imports came to about $8.1B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
How is HS code 270750 structured?
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.
What is the Brazil NCM code for HS code 270750?
Brazil splits HS code 270750 into 2 NCM codes: 2707.50.10 (Trimethylbenzene and ethyltoluene mixtures), 2707.50.90 (Other aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures). The first 6 digits of each match the HS code.
