Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If stabilized >2% or contains other solvents
Higher stabilizer content makes it 'other' chlorinated acyclic hydrocarbon derivatives.
If formulated for fire extinguisher charges
Chloroform-based fire suppressants classified under prepared fire-extinguishing compositions.
If in paint stripper retail preparations
Retail paint/adhesive removers containing chloroform as active ingredient.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare exact stabilizer (amylene/ethanol) percentage; excess shifts to mixtures heading
• Provide peroxide test results; unstabilized chloroform requires special inert gas packaging
• Check country-specific VOC regulations; some require reduced emissions certifications
