Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 270799 when importing or exporting oils and other products derived from the distillation of high temperature coal tar, particularly those not classified elsewhere in heading 2707. For example, if you are dealing with specialized coal tar pitch used in roofing or industrial applications, this code applies.
This HS-6 line specifically covers products where the aromatic constituents outweigh the non-aromatic ones, distinguishing it from HS-6 270790, which includes similar products but with a different aromatic composition. If your product has a higher non-aromatic content, you would need to look at other classifications.
When considering HS-6 270799, think about products like coal tar oils, which can be used in various applications, including sealants and coatings. Ensure that the product's composition aligns with the aromatic versus non-aromatic ratio outlined in the heading.
If you're unsure whether your product fits here or in a neighboring line, consult with a customs broker. They can help clarify the distinctions and ensure proper classification based on the specific characteristics of your shipment.
