Lindane Technical Grade Powder from China

Lindane, chemically 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma isomer), is a technical grade powder used primarily as an intermediate in pesticide manufacturing. It falls under HTS 2903.81.00.00 as a halogenated derivative of cyclanic hydrocarbons, specifically the defined compound HCH including lindane. This pure chemical form meets chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined organic compounds.

Import Tips

Obtain EPA registration and provide detailed chemical purity analysis certificates as lindane is a regulated pesticide precursor

Include safety data sheets (SDS) and confirm 99%+ gamma-HCH isomer content to avoid reclassification

Verify end-use declaration to prevent diversion to prohibited applications; common pitfall is inadequate transport stabilization
