Products classified under HTS 2903.23.00.00
Tetrachloroethylene Industrial Solvent
Pure tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), a chlorinated unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon used primarily as a non-flammable solvent in industrial degreasing applications. It falls under HTS 2903.23.00.00 as a specific halogenated derivative of hydrocarbons meeting the chapter's criteria for chemically defined organic compounds. Typically supplied in bulk drums for manufacturing and metal cleaning processes.
Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Grade
High-purity tetrachloroethylene formulated for professional dry cleaning machines, classified as an unsaturated chlorinated derivative of acyclic hydrocarbons per HTS 2903.23.00.00. Meets chapter notes for separate chemically defined compounds with minimal stabilizers for transport safety.
Tetrachloroethylene Metal Degreaser
Tetrachloroethylene in technical grade for vapor degreasing of metal parts in automotive and aerospace industries, directly under HTS 2903.23.00.00 as a halogenated unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon. Qualifies per chapter notes as a pure compound possibly with transport stabilizers.
Perchloroethylene Extraction Solvent
Pharmaceutical-grade tetrachloroethylene used as an extraction solvent in chemical labs and oil recovery, classified under HTS 2903.23.00.00 for its unsaturated chlorinated acyclic structure. Adheres to chapter definitions for chemically pure organic compounds.
Tetrachloroethylene Bulk Chemical
Bulk tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene) shipped in ISO tanks for chemical synthesis feedstock, precisely HTS 2903.23.00.00 as an unsaturated chlorinated acyclic hydrocarbon derivative. Fits chapter notes for pure compounds in transport containers.
