Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) Technical Grade
Hexachlorobenzene (ISO) is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis and historically as a fungicide. It falls under HTS 2903.92.00.00 as a specifically named halogenated derivative of aromatic hydrocarbons per Chapter 29 note (a). This pure chemical compound contains no impurities that would exclude it from this classification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing impurities or formulated as a technical mixture <98% purity
Mixtures of organic chemicals not chemically defined fall under Chapter 38 prepared binders; Chapter 29 limited to separate defined compounds.
If other halogenated aromatic derivatives not specifically named
Only specifically enumerated compounds like HCB/DDT use 2903.92; other chlorobenzenes go to residual 2903.69.
If imported as registered pesticide product regardless of purity
Pesticides in forms ready for use classified by function in Chapter 38, not chemical structure in Chapter 29.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify EPA registration and TSCA compliance as HCB is heavily restricted under pesticide laws; obtain prior import approval
ā¢ Include detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming ā„98% purity to avoid reclassification as a mixture
ā¢ Declare historical fungicide use in documentation but emphasize current industrial synthesis applications to meet end-use declarations
