Vanadyl Chloride (VOCl3) from Japan

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.

Import Tips

• 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
