Poly(chlorobrominated) Ethylene from United States
Poly(chlorobrominated) ethylene is a dual-halogenated ethylene polymer used in fire-resistant cables. It is in primary form and classified under tariff item 3904.90.00 as 'Other' halogenated olefin polymers, as the combination of chlorine and bromine does not match any specific subheading for single-halogen polymers.

Import Tips
• Document the chlorine and bromine content to the CBSA, as the dual-halogen nature places the product under 'Other' in 3904.90.00
• If the polymer is used in cables, ensure it is imported in primary form (e.g
• granules) and not as finished cable, which would fall under Section XVI
• Keep records of the polymerization process to confirm the halogens are part of the polymer chain, not additives
