Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If brominated as alkyl bromides like methyl bromide
Organic bromine compounds shift to Chapter 28 bromides and halide derivatives, not elemental bromine.
If pesticide-formulated like ethylene dibromide
Pesticides containing bromine are classified by use in Chapter 38, not as pure chemical elements.
If in brominated hydrocarbon form
Halogenated organic derivatives of hydrocarbons fall under Chapter 29, distinguished from inorganic elemental halogens.
