Bromochloromethane
Bromochloromethane (CH2BrCl) is a halogenated derivative of methane containing both bromine and chlorine atoms, classifying it under HTS 2903.79.10.00 as a halogenated acyclic hydrocarbon with two or more different halogens. It is primarily used as a solvent and in organic synthesis.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If impure or containing stabilizers exceeding chapter note limits
Chapter notes exclude mixtures with additives rendering them suitable for specific use; impure forms fall under 'other'.
If imported as part of a formulated solvent mixture for retail or industrial cleaning
Mixtures of organic chemicals not purely separate compounds fall under chapter 38 prepared chemical preparations.
If only single halogen (chloromethane without bromine)
Heading 2903.19 covers monohalogenated acyclic hydrocarbons; multiple halogens shift to 2903.79.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate (typically >98%) as impurities may affect classification under chapter 29 notes
• Include SDS and end-use declaration to comply with TSCA import requirements for chemical substances
• Avoid misclassification as refrigerant blends; single-compound status must be documented
