Vanadyl Chloride (VOCl3)
Vanadyl chloride, with the chemical formula VOCl3, is a liquid chloride oxide of vanadium used primarily as a catalyst in organic synthesis and polymerization reactions. It falls under HTS 2827.49.10.00 as a chemically defined chloride oxide of vanadium, distinct from simple chlorides or other metal compounds. This compound is handled with care due to its corrosive and moisture-sensitive properties.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pure vanadium chloride without oxide
Simple chlorides of vanadium, lacking the oxide group, are classified under the chloride subheading rather than chloride oxides.
If prepared as a complex for specific industrial use
Certain complex vanadium compounds not fitting standard definitions may fall under other inorganic compounds in 2853.
If imported as a formulated mixture or solution
Mixtures containing vanadium chloride oxides with additives exceed chemically pure definitions and enter as chemical preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and chemical identity with certificates of analysis to confirm classification as a chemically defined vanadium chloride oxide
• Ensure proper hazardous material documentation (e.g
• SDS) and UN packaging for corrosive liquids during import
• Avoid misclassification as a simple chloride by checking for the oxide component in the molecular structure
