Ethylene Dibromide Stabilized Solution
Ethylene dibromide (1,2-dibromoethane) with added stabilizers for safe transport, classified under HTS 2903.62.10.00 per Chapter 29 note 1(f) allowing stabilizers necessary for preservation. The solvent/additive does not render it suitable for specific use beyond general chemical applications. Commonly used in leaded gasoline scavenging.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If stabilizer renders it a formulated chemical product
Prepared chemical mixtures/compositions fall under Chapter 38 if not qualifying under Chapter 29 exceptions.
If blended as petroleum distillate additive
Mixtures with hydrocarbons may classify as petroleum oils rather than pure organic chemicals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare stabilizer composition and concentration (<1% typically allowed); verify solution doesn't qualify as 'particularly suitable for specific use' per Chapter Note 1(e); use SDS for hazard communication

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.
Technical Grade Ethylene Dibromide 98%
Technical grade ethylene dibromide at 98% purity (1,2-dibromoethane) remains classified as the specific compound under HTS 2903.62.10.00 despite minor impurities, per Chapter 29 notes allowing impurities. Used mainly in industrial fumigation and as a gasoline additive scavenger. Meets ISO standards for chemical identity.
Industrial Ethylene Dibromide for Fumigation
High-purity 1,2-dibromoethane designated for quarantine and pre-shipment fumigation, specifically named under HTS 2903.62.10.00 as a brominated acyclic hydrocarbon derivative. Supplied in drums for agricultural and stored grain applications. Classification holds despite end-use labeling per HTS specificity.
Pharma-Grade 1,2-Dibromoethane
Pharmaceutical grade ethylene dibromide (99.5%+ purity) used as a synthetic intermediate for organic compounds, classified specifically under HTS 2903.62.10.00. Meets USP/EP standards for trace impurities. The pure chemical identity prevails over pharmaceutical end-use.
