Based on the provided reference data, and the user input "NAMIB", it's highly probable the declared commodity relates to Coal gas, water gas, producer gas and similar gases. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes and relevant considerations:
- 2705.00.00: Coal gas, water gas, producer gas and similar gases, other than petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons.
- 27: Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; bituminous substances; mineral waxes. This section broadly covers fuels derived from natural resources.
- 05: Coal gas, water gas, producer gas and similar gases. This specifically identifies gases produced from coal or related processes.
- 00.00: This further specifies that it covers all types within this category.
Tax Details:
- Basic Tariff: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Additional Tariff (after April 2, 2025): 30%
- Total Tariff: 55.0%
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Gas Composition: The classification hinges on the precise composition of the gas. If the gas contains significant amounts of hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, ethane, propane), it might fall under a different HS code related to petroleum gases (e.g., Chapter 2711). Provide a detailed gas analysis report to confirm.
- Production Method: Clarify how the gas is produced. Is it from coal gasification, water-gas shift reaction, or another process?
- Intended Use: The final application of the gas can sometimes influence classification.
- Certification: Depending on the specific regulations of the importing country (Namibia in this case), you may need to provide certificates of origin, quality certificates, or safety data sheets (SDS).
- Price Verification: The declared value (single price) should be reasonable and justifiable. Customs authorities may scrutinize unusually low or high values.
- Post April 2, 2025: Be aware of the tariff increase scheduled for April 2, 2025. Ensure your declarations are accurate based on the import date.

A definitive HS code determination requires a comprehensive review of the product specifications, production process, and relevant import regulations.

Customer Reviews
The page was informative, but I wish there were more examples of similar products. It would have been easier to confirm if my product fits this HS code.
I needed to confirm if my product falls under 2705.00.00, and this page made it clear. The gas composition note was a good reminder to double-check my product specs.
The information on the additional tariffs after April 2, 2025, was really helpful. I was worried about the timing of my shipment, so this saved me some trouble.
Great breakdown of HS Code 2705.00.00 for coal gas. The tariff details and effective dates were exactly what I needed for my export to the US.
