Phosgene Gas Cylinder

A pressurized steel cylinder containing carbonyl dichloride (phosgene) gas, used primarily as an intermediate in organic chemical synthesis. It falls under HTS 2812.11.00.00 as a halide oxide of carbon, specifically phosgene, which is a chloride oxide of nonmetals. This classification applies to the pure chemical compound in gaseous or liquefied form.

Liquefied Phosgene in Ton Container

A one-ton steel container filled with liquefied phosgene (carbonyl dichloride) for bulk industrial delivery. Classified under HTS 2812.11.00.00 because it is the chemically defined compound phosgene, a chloride oxide of carbon, meeting Chapter 28 definitions for nonmetal halide oxides.

Industrial Phosgene for Isocyanate Production

Phosgene in high-capacity cylinders designed for polyurethane isocyanate manufacturing processes. Falls under HTS 2812.11.00.00 as the pure compound carbonyl dichloride, a nonmetal chloride oxide excluded from organic chapters.

Phosgene in Composite ISO Tank

Phosgene loaded into a 20-foot composite ISO tank for international bulk transport to chemical plants. Classified as HTS 2812.11.00.00 for the chemically defined phosgene gas, adhering to Chapter 28 rules for halide oxides of nonmetals.

Stabilized Phosgene Solution 20% in Toluene

A 20% phosgene solution stabilized in toluene for safe handling in pharmaceutical synthesis. While a solution, the primary component is chemically defined phosgene (HTS 2812.11.00.00); however, concentration determines if classified as pure or mixture.
