2903.81.00.00/Lindane Technical Grade Powder/Japan

Lindane Technical Grade Powder from Japan

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
