Hexachlorocyclohexane (Lindane)
Hexachlorocyclohexane, commonly known as Lindane, is a chlorinated cyclic hydrocarbon used primarily as an insecticide. It falls under HTS 2903.89.70 as a halogenated derivative of cyclanic hydrocarbons, specifically featuring multiple chlorine atoms attached to a cyclohexane ring. This classification applies to its chemically defined structure meeting Chapter 29 criteria for separate organic compounds.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when imported as a formulated insecticide
Pesticide preparations containing Lindane as active ingredient shift to Chapter 38 for insecticides, not pure compounds.
If derived from acyclic hydrocarbons
Acyclic chlorinated hydrocarbons classify under 2903.59, differing from cyclanic structures in 2903.89.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify EPA registration and TSCA compliance for pesticide use; unregistered Lindane may face import bans
• Provide detailed chemical purity certificates to avoid misclassification as mixtures
• Ensure proper Hazard Class 6.1 labeling and UN packaging for toxic substance transport
