Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 2853.10.00
Cyanogen Chloride 99% Purity
Cyanogen chloride (ClCN) is a colorless, toxic gas or liquid used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis and chemical manufacturing. It is a separate chemically defined compound of carbon, explicitly listed in Chapter Note 2(e) as classifiable in heading 28.53, and therefore falls under tariff item 2853.10.00.
Cyanogen Chloride Anhydrous Technical Grade
Anhydrous technical grade cyanogen chloride is a chemically defined compound used in bulk chemical processing and non-weaponized military applications. It is explicitly named in Chapter Note 2(e) as classifiable in heading 28.53, and the tariff item 2853.10.00 covers cyanogen chloride regardless of grade, provided it meets the purity requirements of Chapter Note 1.
Industrial Cyanogen Chloride Solution 50% Aqueous
A 50% aqueous solution of cyanogen chloride, stabilized for industrial handling, is classifiable under tariff item 2853.10.00 because Chapter Note 1(b) includes products dissolved in water. The solution is a normal method of putting up this toxic compound for safe transport and use, and the water does not render it suitable for a specific use.
Laboratory Grade Cyanogen Chloride Gas Cylinder
High-purity cyanogen chloride gas compressed in laboratory cylinders is a separate chemically defined compound, explicitly covered by tariff item 2853.10.00. The gaseous form is a normal state for this compound, and Chapter Note 1 does not restrict the physical form, so it qualifies for this item.
Pharma-Grade Cyanogen Chloride for API Synthesis
Pharmaceutical grade cyanogen chloride, meeting USP standards for API synthesis, is a chemically defined compound of high purity. It falls under tariff item 2853.10.00 as cyanogen chloride, regardless of grade, provided it meets the requirements of Chapter Note 1 for separate chemically defined compounds.
Stabilized Cyanogen Chloride for Dye Manufacturing
Cyanogen chloride stabilized with organic inhibitors for safe transport in dye manufacturing is classifiable under tariff item 2853.10.00. Chapter Note 1(d) allows added stabilizers necessary for preservation or transport, provided they do not render the product suitable for a specific use. The primary compound remains cyanogen chloride.
