Chlorobenzene from Japan
Chlorobenzene is a halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon produced by chlorinating benzene, with a single chlorine atom attached to the ring. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound of Chapter 29, used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides, dyes, and other industrial chemicals. Its classification under tariff item 2903.89.00 reflects its status as a halogenated derivative of cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic hydrocarbons, as the heading covers other halogenated derivatives not more specifically named.

Import Tips
• Ensure the product is a separate chemically defined compound with no added substances that would shift classification
• Provide a safety data sheet (SDS) and confirm the end-use (e.g
• pesticide intermediate) to support the tariff classification
• Verify if any import permits are required under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act for industrial chemicals
