Chlorobenzene for Pesticide Synthesis
Technical-grade chlorobenzene destined for herbicide production, such as propanil, is a chemically defined chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon. End-use does not affect classification under Chapter 29, as the product is not put up in measured doses or retail sale.
Chlorobenzene with Anti-Dusting Agent
Chlorobenzene with a minor anti-dusting agent added for safe handling is still classified under this tariff item. Chapter 29 Note 1(g) permits additions for safety or identification, provided they do not make the product suitable for a specific use.

USP-grade distilled chlorobenzene for pharmaceutical solvent applications is a pure halogenated aromatic compound. It meets the Chapter 29 definition of a separate chemically defined organic compound, regardless of its intended use in pharmaceuticals.
Distilled p-Dichlorobenzene
Vacuum-distilled p-dichlorobenzene purified to remove colored impurities and isomers remains a pure chemically defined aromatic halogenated hydrocarbon. It is classifiable under this tariff item as the specific para-isomer.
Industrial Grade Chlorobenzene
Industrial-grade chlorobenzene used in dye manufacturing and as a reaction solvent, typically 99% pure, qualifies as a primary halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a separate chemically defined compound under Chapter 29 Note 1(a).
