Classification of Refined Petroleum Products

8 - All other (refined petroleum) products

'All other (refined petroleum) products' includes petro-chemical feedstocks, naphtha specialties, petroleum coke, lubricating oils and greases, still gas and other products.

8.1 - Petro-chemical feedstocks

'Petro-chemical feedstocks' includes refinery gases or other petroleum derivatives if sold to a chemical company to be used as a raw material for further processing, such as chemicals, synthetic rubber and a variety of plastics. (Harmonized System code 2710.00.99.1 and .2) 

8.2 - Naphtha specialties

'Naphtha specialties' includes materials such as industrial and commercial solvents, lighting naphtha, mineral spirits and paint thinners. (Harmonized System code 2710.00.4) 

8.3 - Petroleum coke (including coke from catalytic cracker)

'Petroleum coke (including coke from catalytic cracker)' includes all petroleum coke. Petroleum coke is obtained mainly by cracking and carbonizing of residue feedstocks, tar and pitches in processes such as delayed cocking or fluid cocking. The two most important qualities are green coke and calumniated coke. This category also includes catalyst coke deposited on the catalyst during refining processes: this coke is not recoverable and is usually burned as refinery fuel. (Harmonized System code 2713.11, 2713.12)

8.4 - Lubricating oils and greases

'Lubricating oils and greases' includes all oils and greases of petroleum origin manufactured or sold for lubricating purposes. Also contains automotive or industrial oils which may be described as having special properties other than lubricating alone such as brake fluids, automatic transmission oils, industrial cutting oils or coolants and rust preventatives. (Harmonized System code 2710.00.8)

8.5 - Still gas

'Still gas' includes the remaining unseparated gaseous fractions produced in refinery distillation or cracking produced in refinery distillation or cracking processes, after marketable products have been extracted. This is usually consumed as refinery fuel although sales have been made to public gas utilities under certain circumstances. (Harmonized System code 2711.21) 

8.6 - Other petroleum products

'Other petroleum products' includes wax and candles, and unfinished products. Unfinished products being the volume in process in a refinery at any particular point in time that cannot be identified in end product terms. Also, imports or purchases of blending agents in inventory where the end product may be in doubt.
