2,2,3,3-Tetrachlorocyclobutanone from China
Despite ketone functionality, 2,2,3,3-tetrachlorocyclobutanone classifies primarily by halogenation under HTS 2903.89.70. The cyclobutane ring with geminal dichlorides defines it as halogenated cyclanic derivative. Chapter notes prioritize halogenation over minor oxygen functions.

Import Tips
• Include carbonyl stretch IR data to document oxygen function without reclassification
• Store below 0°C to prevent ring expansion rearrangement
• Label as Eye Irritant Category 2A per GHS standards
