2707.30.00.40 - Other

HTS code 2707.30.00.40 encompasses "Other" xylenes and related aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures that do not specifically fall under the classifications for m-xylene, o-xylene, or p-xylene. This category is designed to capture xylenes where the specific isomer is not identified or where the product is a mixture of xylenes in proportions not otherwise specified, provided that the aromatic constituents by weight exceed the non-aromatic constituents. These products are derived from the distillation of high-temperature coal tar or are similar substances.

This classification differentiates itself from its sibling categories by serving as a residual for xylenes. Specifically, 2707.30.00.10 is for m-xylene, 2707.30.00.20 is for o-xylene, and 2707.30.00.30 is for p-xylene. Therefore, 2707.30.00.40 is applied when the product is not solely or predominantly one of these specific isomers, or when its isomeric composition is not detailed for separate classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2707.30.00.40. Classification within this code relies on ensuring the product meets the general criteria of Chapter 27, specifically heading 2707, and that it is a xylene-based product falling outside the more specific isomer classifications. This often involves examining laboratory analysis reports or product specifications to confirm the absence of a distinct primary isomer or to verify a mixed xylene composition.
