Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fluorinated instead of chlorinated
Fluorobenzene falls under halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons specifically for fluorides.
If mixed with solvents exceeding 30% concentration
Chemical mixtures or preparations not chemically defined move to Chapter 38 mixtures heading.
If imported as technical grade for benzene production
Certain purified aromatic hydrocarbons without halogen substitution classify under Chapter 29 acyclic hydrocarbons.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and ensure CAS number 108-90-7 matches documentation for Section VI note 3 compliance
• Provide safety data sheets (SDS) detailing flash point and toxicity for DOT hazardous material classification
• Avoid misclassification as pesticide intermediate under Chapter 38 by confirming it's a basic chemical
