HS v2017 Code: 270799

About oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature coal tar; n.e.c. in heading no. 2707

HS code 270799 covers a diverse range of products derived from the distillation of high-temperature coal tar. These oils and other distillation products play a crucial role in various industries, serving as essential raw materials and intermediates. The global demand for these specialized chemicals is driven by their widespread applications, from the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals to the manufacture of fuels and specialty chemicals. As a key component of the broader coal and petroleum-based chemical industry, this HS code represents an important segment of the international trade landscape.

Production process

The production of the oils and other products covered under HS code 270799 typically involves the distillation of high-temperature coal tar. This process separates the complex mixture of organic compounds found in coal tar into its constituent fractions, each with distinct chemical and physical properties. The specific techniques employed may vary depending on the desired end-products, but generally involve a combination of fractional distillation, solvent extraction, and further purification or processing steps.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of HS code 270799 items is high-temperature coal tar, which is a byproduct of the coking process in steel production or the gasification of coal. In addition to the coal tar feedstock, the industry may require specialized equipment and machinery for the distillation and separation processes, as well as various solvents, catalysts, and other chemicals used in the purification and refinement of the final products.

Production outputs

The oils and other products covered under HS code 270799 have a wide range of applications and can be further processed or consumed by various other industries. These outputs may include benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, and other aromatic hydrocarbons, which are used as feedstocks for the production of 290000 Organic Chemicals, 290300 Aromatic Hydrocarbons, and 290700 Phenols; Phenol-alcohols. Additionally, the distillation products may be used in the manufacture of 290500 Heterocyclic Compounds, 290600 Organic Chemicals, and 380200 Activated Carbon, among other applications.
