Pentachlorophenol Sodium Salt
Pentachlorophenol sodium salt is the sodium salt of pentachlorophenol, formed from the parent halogenated phenol compound. Under Chapter 29 Note 5(C)(1), inorganic salts of organic compounds are classified in the heading appropriate to the organic compound, which is pentachlorophenol. Therefore, this salt is classified under tariff item 2908.11.00, as it retains the five chlorine substituents on the phenol ring.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify the sodium salt under 2908.11.00 as per Chapter 29 Note 5(C)(1), since it is an inorganic salt of pentachlorophenol
• Provide the CAS number (131-52-2) and confirm the salt's identity to avoid misclassification
• Check if the product is subject to Canadian pesticide regulations, as sodium pentachlorophenolate is a restricted substance
Related Products under Tariff item 2908.11.00
Pentachlorophenol Anti-Dusting Grade
Pentachlorophenol anti-dusting grade is pentachlorophenol with a minimal added anti-dusting agent to reduce airborne dust during handling and transport. This addition is permitted under Chapter 29 Note 1(g) as it facilitates safe identification and handling without making the product suitable for a specific use. It remains a halogenated derivative of phenol containing only chlorine substituents, classified under tariff item 2908.11.00.
Pentachlorophenol Flakes 98% Pure
Pentachlorophenol flakes at 98% purity are a separate chemically defined organic compound, meeting ISO specifications for pentachlorophenol. As a halogenated derivative of phenol with only chlorine substituents, it falls squarely under tariff item 2908.11.00. The flake form does not alter its classification as a chemically defined compound.
Pentachlorophenol Laboratory Reagent
Pentachlorophenol laboratory reagent is an ultra-pure form of pentachlorophenol, designated as analytical reagent grade for laboratory synthesis. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound with only chlorine substituents on the phenol ring, meeting Chapter 29 Note 1(a). This product is correctly classified under tariff item 2908.11.00 as pentachlorophenol (ISO).
Pentachlorophenol Technical Grade
Pentachlorophenol technical grade is the standard industrial form of pentachlorophenol (ISO), a halogenated derivative of phenol containing only chlorine substituents. As a separate chemically defined organic compound, it meets the requirements of Chapter 29 Note 1(a). This technical grade is classified under tariff item 2908.11.00, which specifically covers pentachlorophenol (ISO).
Pentachlorophenol with Stabilizer
Pentachlorophenol with stabilizer is pentachlorophenol containing an added stabilizer necessary for preservation or transport, as permitted under Chapter 29 Note 1(f). The stabilizer does not render the product suitable for a specific use, so it remains classified as pentachlorophenol (ISO). This product falls under tariff item 2908.11.00 as a halogenated phenol derivative with only chlorine substituents.
