m-Dichlorobenzene
m-Dichlorobenzene, also known as 1,3-dichlorobenzene, is a colorless liquid chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon used primarily as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and as a solvent. It falls under HTS 2903.99.10.00 as a specifically enumerated halogenated derivative of aromatic hydrocarbons.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If higher purity industrial grade or denatured form
Products not specifically enumerated fall under the residual 'other' subheading within halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons.
If when imported as a formulated mixture with solvents
Chemical mixtures or preparations not chemically defined as single compounds are classified in Chapter 38.
If classified primarily by pesticidal end-use
Halogenated derivatives used as pesticides may be classified under specific pesticide headings if principal use dictates.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming purity and isomer specification as m-dichlorobenzene
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) documenting flash point and handling precautions for hazardous material declaration
• Verify compliance with TSCA inventory listing and pre-manufacture notice requirements for chemical imports
