2901.29.10.50 - Other

This HTS category, 2901.29.10.50, encompasses acyclic hydrocarbons that are unsaturated and not specifically classified under other headings within the broader group of acyclic hydrocarbons. These substances are characterized by the presence of at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond. The critical defining characteristic for this particular code is that the hydrocarbons are derived, either entirely or partially, from petroleum, shale oil, or natural gas. This covers a wide range of unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons that do not fall into more specific subcategories based on their structure or olefin chain length.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 2901.29.10.10, which specifically covers unmixed linear alpha-olefins with a carbon chain length ranging from C6 to C30. Therefore, 2901.29.10.50 would include other types of unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons derived from petroleum sources, such as branched olefins, cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons that are not aromatic, or unsaturated hydrocarbons with functionalities beyond simple double or triple bonds, provided they meet the criteria of being acyclic and derived from the specified fossil fuel sources.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this code is determined by the elimination of more specific headings and the fulfillment of the criteria for unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, shale oil, or natural gas. Examples might include certain isomers of butenes, pentenes, or hexenes that are not linear alpha-olefins, or more complex unsaturated hydrocarbons obtained through processes like cracking or refining of crude oil.
