Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chlorofluorobenzene mixed halide
Compound halogenated derivatives have specific subheadings.
If stabilized with >1% inhibitors
Products with added stabilizers beyond transport needs become mixtures.
If saturated fluorinated acyclic chain
Acyclic halogenated hydrocarbons classify earlier in Chapter 29.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include NMR spectra confirming monofluorination and aromatic structure
• Comply with REACH if transshipping through EU; align with TSCA
• Avoid bulk packaging over 200L drums to prevent mixture classification
