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 the goods covered under HS code 2707 primarily involves the distillation of high-temperature coal tar. This process separates the tar into its various constituent fractions, each with distinct chemical and physical properties. The specific techniques used can vary, but typically involve fractional distillation, solvent extraction, and other purification methods to isolate the desired 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, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the distillation and refining processes, as well as various chemical reagents and solvents used in the purification steps.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 2707 include a wide range of aromatic oils, solvents, and other chemical products. These materials are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, such as 2902 Aromatic Hydrocarbons, 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, and 2710 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils.
