Hexachloroethane Degassing Tablets
Hexachloroethane compressed into degassing tablets remains classified under HTS 2903.19.10.00 as the pure chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 notes, not as a finished preparation. Used in foundry applications to remove hydrogen from molten metals.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tablets contain binders/fillers exceeding minor stabilizer allowance
Additives rendering product suitable for specific use beyond transport classify as preparations.
If detonating or pyrotechnic composition
Safety fuse or signaling device compositions move to Chapter 36 explosives.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm tablets contain >90% active hexachloroethane to avoid Chapter 38 mixture classification
• Include foundry end-use verification to prevent pesticide misclassification
• Use UN 3077 packaging for solid environmental hazards
