Overview
This HTS category, 2707.99.90.90, encompasses "Other" products derived from the distillation of high-temperature coal tar, and similar products where aromatic constituents by weight are dominant. It serves as a residual category for such products that do not fall under more specific subheadings within the 2707.99.90 range. These materials are typically complex mixtures of hydrocarbons, often oily or tarry in nature, characterized by a high proportion of aromatic compounds.
To properly classify within this subheading, it's crucial to distinguish it from its sibling category, 2707.99.90.10. The sibling category specifically addresses "Carbon black feedstocks," which are dedicated feedstocks for the production of carbon black. Therefore, 2707.99.90.90 covers all other aromatic-rich distillates of coal tar and similar products that are not primarily intended or suitable for use as carbon black feedstocks. The key differentiating factor lies in the intended use or primary chemical composition that aligns with carbon black production versus other industrial applications.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into 2707.99.90.90 relies on the product meeting the general criteria of being a product of coal tar distillation or a similar aromatic-rich substance, and not fitting into any more specific subheading. Documentation, such as technical data sheets and certificates of analysis, will be essential to demonstrate that the product's composition and intended use do not align with more narrowly defined categories, thereby justifying its classification under this "Other" residual subheading.
