Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; in gaseous state, other than natural gas

HS v2017 Code: 271129

About petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; in gaseous state, other than natural gas

HS code 271129 covers a diverse range of petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, excluding natural gas. These products play a crucial role in various industries, serving as essential feedstocks, fuel sources, and raw materials for a wide array of downstream applications. The global trade and consumption of these gaseous hydrocarbons are closely tied to the overall energy and petrochemical sectors, making this code a significant component of the broader international trade landscape.

Production process

The production of the goods classified under HS code 271129 typically involves the separation and processing of natural gas liquids (NGLs) or the refining of crude oil. Key techniques may include fractionation, distillation, and various chemical processes to isolate and purify the desired gaseous hydrocarbon compounds, such as propane, butane, and other liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs).

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 271129 include crude oil, natural gas, and other hydrocarbon feedstocks. Specialized processing equipment, such as fractionation towers, compressors, and storage facilities, are also essential for the efficient extraction, separation, and distribution of these gaseous hydrocarbons.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 271129 are various types of petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, including 271111 Liquefied natural gas, 271112 Propane, 271113 Butanes, and other liquefied petroleum gases. These outputs are widely consumed as fuel sources, petrochemical feedstocks, and industrial gases, finding applications in sectors such as 271600 Electrical energy, 290110 Acyclic hydrocarbons, and 382200 Composite diagnostic or laboratory reagents, among others.
