HSN Code Details
Coal tar is a viscous liquid obtained from the destructive distillation of coal, containing a complex mix of aromatic hydrocarbons and sulfur compounds. It is often refined to produce lighter fractions for industrial use.
When shipping coal tar, it must be loaded into specialized bulk containers that meet hazardous material regulations, and the cargo requires proper labeling and documentation for safe handling. Temperature control is essential to prevent viscosity changes that could affect pumping and storage.
