Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2903.11.00Same rate: 40.5%

If methyl chloride (chloromethane) present as impurity >5%

Methyl chloride takes precedence as first listed saturated chlorinated hydrocarbon

2903.29.00.00Same rate: 40.5%

If technical grade with fluorinated impurities

Fluorinated acyclic hydrocarbons classified separately under 2903.29

3814.00.50Higher: 41% vs 40.5%

If pre-mixed with polymerization inhibitors for transport

Organic composite solvents with additives fall under heading 3814

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide GC-MS analysis confirming 1,2-dichloroethane as principal isomer (>99%)

Include TSCA certification for new chemical substance compliance

Avoid misclassification as 'chlorinated solvents unspecified' which defaults to higher duty mixtures
