p-Nitro-o-xylene from China

p-Nitro-o-xylene is a nitrated derivative of o-xylene, specifically 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene, a pale yellow crystalline solid used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It falls under HTS 2904.20.15.00 as a derivative containing only nitro groups derived from hydrocarbons, matching the chapter's scope for chemically defined organic compounds with nitro functionality.

Import Tips

Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, GC-MS) confirming purity and structure as p-nitro-o-xylene to avoid misclassification

Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and CAS number (89-87-2) documentation for hazardous material handling and DOT compliance

Verify no halogenation or sulfonation impurities exceed trace levels, as these could shift classification to other subheadings
