Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; liquefied, ethylene, propylene, butylene and butadiene

HS v2022 Code: 271114

About petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; liquefied, ethylene, propylene, butylene and butadiene

HS code 271114 covers a critical segment of the global energy and petrochemical industries. This code encompasses the liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and other gaseous hydrocarbons, including ethylene, propylene, butylene, and butadiene. These products play a vital role in powering homes, fueling transportation, and serving as essential feedstocks for a wide range of downstream chemical and manufacturing processes. The trade and production of these commodities are integral to the functioning of modern economies around the world.

Production process

The production of the commodities under HS code 271114 typically involves the separation and purification of natural gas and crude oil streams. This is commonly achieved through a combination of distillation, fractionation, and other refining techniques. The specific production methods may vary depending on the source of the raw materials and the desired end-products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 271114 include natural gas, crude oil, and various refining and separation equipment. Depending on the specific product, additional inputs such as catalysts, solvents, and specialized processing units may be necessary. The availability and cost of these raw materials and technologies are crucial factors in the competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 271114 are liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), such as propane and butane, as well as other gaseous hydrocarbons like ethylene, propylene, and butylene. These products are widely used as fuel sources, petrochemical feedstocks, and in various industrial applications. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by other HS codes, such as 271112 Propane, liquefied, 271113 Butanes, liquefied, and 290121 Ethylene, among others.
