Ethylene Dibromide Stabilized Solution
Ethylene dibromide with added stabilizers for safe transport is still classified under tariff item 2903.62.00, as Chapter 29 note 1(f) permits the addition of stabilizers necessary for preservation or transport. The stabilizers do not alter the product's essential character as the named compound, and the solution remains a separate chemically defined organic compound.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the type and purpose of the stabilizer to demonstrate it is necessary for transport or preservation, as per Chapter 29 note 1(f)
• Ensure the stabilizer does not make the product suitable for a specific use over general use, which could change classification
• Include the safety data sheet (SDS) with the shipment for CBSA review
Related Products under Tariff item 2903.62.00
Ethylene Dibromide (1,2-Dibromoethane)
Pure ethylene dibromide, also known as 1,2-dibromoethane (ISO), is a halogenated derivative of an acyclic hydrocarbon, specifically ethane with two bromine atoms on adjacent carbons. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound, which qualifies it for classification under Chapter 29, and it is specifically named in tariff item 2903.62.00.
Industrial Ethylene Dibromide for Fumigation
Industrial ethylene dibromide for fumigation is high-purity 1,2-dibromoethane, a brominated derivative of acyclic hydrocarbons. It is specifically named in tariff item 2903.62.00, and its use as a fumigant does not affect classification since the product is still the pure chemical compound.
Pharma-Grade 1,2-Dibromoethane
Pharma-grade 1,2-dibromoethane is a high-purity (99.5%+) form of ethylene dibromide, meeting USP/EP standards. As a separate chemically defined organic compound, it falls under tariff item 2903.62.00, regardless of its pharmaceutical-grade quality, since Chapter 29 does not exclude high-purity chemicals.
Technical Grade Ethylene Dibromide 98%
Technical grade ethylene dibromide at 98% purity is still classified under tariff item 2903.62.00, as Chapter 29 note 1(a) allows the presence of impurities in separate chemically defined organic compounds. The product is specifically named as 1,2-dibromoethane, and the minor impurities do not affect its classification.
