Ethylene Dibromide (1,2-Dibromoethane)
Pure ethylene dibromide, also known as 1,2-dibromoethane (ISO), is a halogenated derivative of an acyclic hydrocarbon consisting of ethane with two bromine atoms attached to adjacent carbons. It falls under HTS 2903.62.10.00 as a specifically named brominated acyclic hydrocarbon. This colorless liquid is primarily used as a fumigant, solvent, and chemical intermediate.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with solvents or stabilizers for commercial formulation
Mixtures of organic chemicals not specifically provided for elsewhere fall under Chapter 38 prepared binders or mixtures.
If purity below specification or contains isomers/impurities
Other brominated acyclic hydrocarbons not specifically ethylene dibromide are classified under the residual brominated subcategory.
If chlorinated rather than brominated
Chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons use different halogen-specific subheadings within 2903.
