Technical Grade DBEDBC Flame Retardant
Technical grade Dibromoethyldibromocyclohexane (95-98% purity) is imported for industrial flame retardant applications in polyurethane foams and epoxy resins. Classified under HTS 2903.89.05.00 due to its specific chemical structure as a brominated cyclohexane derivative from aromatic sources. Meets Chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined halogenated organic compounds.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for other brominated cyclohexane derivatives
Similar aromatic-derived halogenated cyclanic hydrocarbons without the specific ethyl dibromo substitution fall in the general subheading.
If when pre-formulated as goods specified in note 2 to Chapter 38
Certain pesticide or disinfectant formulations containing this compound as active ingredient shift to Chapter 38 classifications.
If containing significant alcohol impurities affecting classification
Presence of oxygen-function groups from manufacturing impurities could reclassify under ether/alcohol headings per Chapter notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit commercial invoice specifying technical grade purity and CAS number (3322-93-8) to distinguish from research grade imports
• Prepare for potential EPA scrutiny on brominated flame retardants; maintain records of intended end-use in approved applications
• Use DOT-approved packaging for import; declare as 'flammable solid' per UN 3077 if containing residual solvents
