2711.12.00.10 - Propane with a minimum purity of 90 liquid volume percent

This classification covers propane specifically intended for use in industrial, commercial, or residential applications, provided it meets a minimum purity standard of 90 liquid volume percent. The key characteristic for this subcategory is the defined purity level, indicating a product primarily composed of propane with limited impurities. This focus on purity is crucial for applications where the presence of other hydrocarbons could affect performance or safety.

While the parent category encompasses all liquefied petroleum gases, this specific subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, "Other" (2711.12.00.20). The "Other" category would typically include propane that does not meet the 90% minimum purity threshold or other specialized propane-based mixtures not explicitly classified elsewhere. Therefore, the distinction lies in the precise compositional analysis of the product.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 2711.12.00.10 is definitive when the material is identified as propane with a minimum purity of 90 liquid volume percent and it is presented in liquefied form, aligning with the broader scope of liquefied petroleum gases.
