HS Code 2711.19 – Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; liquefied, n.e.c. in heading no. 2711
HS code 2711.19 is the 6-digit subheading for petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, liquefied, n.e.c. in heading no. 2711. It is used for liquefied ethane, liquefied pentanes, mixed C4 hydrocarbons (not predominantly butanes), refinery off-gases (liquefied) and specialized hydrocarbon blends.
What HS 2711.19 covers
This "not elsewhere specified" category for liquefied petroleum gases covers a variety of gaseous hydrocarbons that do not fit into the more specific subheadings like natural gas, propane, butanes, or specific olefins. This can include mixtures not predominantly one component, or less common liquefied hydrocarbons such as ethane or pentanes. Trade in these products is often for specialized industrial applications, niche fuel markets, or as intermediate feedstocks for chemical processes. Importers and exporters typically include chemical companies, specialized gas suppliers, and industrial users with specific requirements. The market for these "other" liquefied gases is generally smaller and more fragmented than for major commodities like LNG or propane, with trade driven by specific industrial demands and regional supply-demand dynamics.

Codes often confused with 2711.19
Common mistake. This code is a catch-all and is often confused with more specific liquefied petroleum gas codes (271111, 271112, 271113, 271114) if the exact composition is not precisely known or if it's a blend. Proper classification requires detailed chemical analysis to ensure it doesn't fit a more specific category.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 271119, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 271119 in UN Comtrade data was Nigeria, with 13% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Türkiye, with 24% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).

What products fall under HS code 271119?
Liquefied ethane, liquefied pentanes, mixed C4 hydrocarbons (not predominantly butanes), refinery off-gases (liquefied), specialized hydrocarbon blends, liquefied cyclopropane, liquefied C5+ hydrocarbons.
What are common misclassifications for HS code 271119?
This code is a catch-all and is often confused with more specific liquefied petroleum gas codes (271111, 271112, 271113, 271114) if the exact composition is not precisely known or if it's a blend. Proper classification requires detailed chemical analysis to ensure it doesn't fit a more specific category.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 271119?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 271119 in UN Comtrade data were Nigeria ($924M, 13% of world exports), Algeria (about $834M) and Iran (about $748M). World exports came to about $6.9B, 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.
Which countries are the top importers of goods under HS code 271119?
