Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chloroform (CHCl3) misidentified
Different chemical structure - trichloromethane vs tetrachloromethane.
If formulated as fire extinguisher charge
Fire-extinguishing compositions specifically excluded from chapter 29.
If retail cleaning solvent preparation
Retail cleaning preparations containing CCl4 go to chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare stabilizer type/concentration; ethanol-stabilized common but verify <1% limit
• Commercial invoice must specify 'for organic synthesis use only' to avoid pesticide classification
• Temperature-controlled shipping required (below 40°C) to maintain stability
