Dibromoethyldibromocyclohexane (DBEDBC) from Japan

Dibromoethyldibromocyclohexane is a halogenated derivative of cyclanic hydrocarbons derived in whole or in part from benzene or other aromatic hydrocarbons, specifically classified under HTS 2903.89.05.00. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid used primarily as a flame retardant additive in plastics, textiles, and coatings. This compound's brominated structure provides effective fire suppression properties while meeting the chapter's criteria for separate chemically defined organic compounds.

Import Tips

Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming the compound is dibromoethyldibromocyclohexane and derived from aromatic hydrocarbons to avoid misclassification

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and REACH/TSCA registration documents, as brominated flame retardants face strict environmental import regulations

Verify purity levels (>98%) and ensure packaging complies with UN hazardous material transport standards for flammable solids
