Hexabromobenzene
Hexabromobenzene is a benzene derivative with all six hydrogen atoms replaced by bromine atoms. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound of Chapter 29, used as a flame retardant precursor and analytical standard. Under tariff item 2903.89.00, it is classified as an 'other' halogenated derivative of cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic hydrocarbons, as the heading covers perhalogenated aromatic derivatives not elsewhere specified.
