Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If 1-chloro-2-methylpropane isomer
Different branched isomers have specific subheadings; structure determines classification.
If pre-mixed with catalysts for specific alkylation processes
Organic composite solvents with functional additives classified in heading 3814.
If containing ether impurities from synthesis
Ether contaminants may trigger classification under heading 2909 if principal characteristic changes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Require drum retest certification per 49 CFR 173.32; drums over 5 years need inspection records
• Submit TSCA certification for new chemical import; sec-Butyl chloride listed on TSCA inventory
• Avoid plastic IBCs; chlorinated solvents incompatible with HDPE over extended storage
