Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2903.79.90Higher: 28.7% vs 17.5%

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'.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 17.5%

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.

2903.19Lower: 15.5% vs 17.5%

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
