Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity below technical specification or mixed isomers
General 'other' halogenated cyclanic hydrocarbons cover less specific or impure forms.
If supplied with added solvents for safe transport
Chapter note (e) allows solvent solutions, but if solvent renders product use-specific, it shifts to Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare exact purity percentage; levels below 90% risk reclassification to 2903.89.40
• Use anti-caking stabilized packaging as permitted by chapter note (f) without changing classification
• Prepare for incineration-only disposal declarations due to brominated content regulations
