Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) Beta Isomer

Beta-HCH is a persistent organochlorine pesticide byproduct from lindane production, derived from benzene via chlorination of cyclohexane. Classified under HTS 2903.89.11.00 due to its halogenated cyclanic structure from aromatic precursors and pesticide designation. Used historically in agriculture despite current restrictions.
