Bulk Ethchlorvynol for Synthesis from Japan
Bulk Ethchlorvynol for Synthesis is a chemically defined organic compound (ethchlorvynol, INN) used as a starting material in pharmaceutical research and development. It is a halogenated derivative of an acyclic alcohol, which falls squarely within the scope of heading 29.05 and specifically under tariff item 2905.51.00. The product is not excluded by Chapter 29 notes, as it is not put up in measured doses or for retail sale, and contains no added stabilizers or other substances that would alter its classification.
