Stabilized Phosgene Solution 20% in Toluene
A 20% phosgene solution stabilized in toluene for safe handling in pharmaceutical synthesis. The primary component is chemically defined phosgene, but the solution is not a normal and necessary method of putting up phosgene for safety or transport, so it may not meet Chapter 28 Note 1(c) criteria. However, it is still classified under heading 28.12 as a chloride oxide of carbon per Note 2(a), provided the solvent does not render it suitable for specific use.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the solution contains a non-metal chloride oxide other than carbonyl dichloride.
The tariff item 2812.11.00 is specific to carbonyl dichloride; other non-metal chloride oxides fall under 2812.19.00.
If the solution is considered a chemical product or preparation not elsewhere specified, due to the solvent.
If the phosgene solution is not classified as a pure compound under Chapter 28, it may fall under heading 38.24 as a chemical product.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the toluene solution is a standard method for phosgene transport and does not make it suitable for a specific use, to ensure classification under this item
• Provide the concentration and solvent details on the import documentation
• Check with the CBSA if the solution requires additional permits due to the presence of toluene
