Products classified under HTS 2903.99.20.00
Benzyl Chloride (α-Chlorotoluene)
Benzyl chloride is a colorless liquid with the formula C6H5CH2Cl, a halogenated derivative of toluene where one hydrogen on the benzylic carbon is replaced by chlorine. It falls under HTS 2903.99.20.00 as a specifically enumerated chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon used primarily as a chemical intermediate. This compound is reactive and handled under controlled conditions due to its lachrymatory properties.
Benzotrichloride (α,α,α-Trichlorotoluene)
Benzotrichloride (C6H5CCl3) is a chlorinated derivative of toluene with three chlorine atoms on the benzylic carbon, specifically enumerated in HTS 2903.99.20.00. This corrosive liquid serves as a key intermediate in dye and pharmaceutical synthesis. Its classification reflects its status as a pure, chemically defined halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon.
Benzyl Chloride 99% Technical Grade
High-purity benzyl chloride (99%) suitable for industrial synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and quaternary ammonium compounds. Classified under HTS 2903.99.20.00 as the specifically named α-chlorotoluene meeting chapter purity requirements. Minimal impurities ensure it remains a separate chemically defined compound.
Benzotrichloride Stabilized with Calcium Carbonate
Benzotrichloride containing a stabilizer to prevent decomposition during storage and transport, explicitly permitted by chapter note (f). This product remains classified in HTS 2903.99.20.00 as the named compound with necessary preservative. Used in manufacture of benzoyl chloride and dyes.
