2901.29.50.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 2901.29.50.00, covers "Other" acyclic hydrocarbons that are unsaturated and not derived in whole or in part from petroleum, shale oil, or natural gas. These substances are defined by their open-chain structure and the presence of at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond, excluding those specifically sourced from fossil fuels. Examples within this category might include unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons synthesized through laboratory processes or derived from non-petroleum sources.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 2901.29.10, which specifically encompasses unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons that have their origin in petroleum, shale oil, or natural gas. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor lies in the feedstock or origin of the hydrocarbon. If a product is identified as an unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon, its classification hinges on whether it was obtained directly from or significantly processed from these specific fossil fuel sources.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. This means that all goods meeting the criteria of being unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons, and not originating from petroleum, shale oil, or natural gas, will be classified directly under 2901.29.50.00. The classification process will therefore focus on confirming the presence of unsaturation and the absence of the specified fossil fuel origins.
