Stabilized Dichloromethane Industrial
Dichloromethane with minimal cyclopentane stabilizer (<0.1%) for corrosion prevention during storage and transport. Per Chapter 29 Note 1(f), stabilizers necessary for preservation or transport do not affect classification, so it falls under tariff item 2903.12.00.
