About oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature coal tar; similar products in which the weight of the aromatic constituents exceeds that of the non-aromatic constituents

HS code 2707 covers a diverse range of products derived from the distillation of high-temperature coal tar. These oils and similar products play a crucial role in various industries, from chemical manufacturing to energy production. As a key component of the broader coal and petroleum industries, this classification is essential for understanding global trade patterns and the flow of essential raw materials throughout the economy.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 2707 primarily involves the distillation of high-temperature coal tar. This process separates the tar into its constituent fractions, each with unique chemical properties and applications. Techniques such as fractional distillation, solvent extraction, and catalytic cracking are commonly employed to refine and further process these coal tar-derived products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 2707 include high-temperature coal tar, which serves as the primary raw material. Additionally, various processing equipment, such as distillation columns, reactors, and separation units, are necessary to carry out the necessary refining and purification steps. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also important inputs for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 2707 include a diverse range of products, including benzene, toluene, xylene, and other aromatic hydrocarbons. These outputs are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, such as 2902 Cyclic hydrocarbons, 2903 Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons, and 2707 Oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature coal tar; similar products in which the weight of the aromatic constituents exceeds that of the non-aromatic constituents.
