Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) Technical Grade from China

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.

Import Tips

Verify EPA registration and TSCA compliance as HCB is heavily restricted under pesticide laws; obtain prior import approval

Include detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming ≥98% purity to avoid reclassification as a mixture

Declare historical fungicide use in documentation but emphasize current industrial synthesis applications to meet end-use declarations
