o-Nitrochlorobenzene
o-Nitrochlorobenzene is a pale yellow crystalline solid with the chemical formula C6H4ClNO2, a monochloromononitrobenzene where the nitro and chloro groups are ortho-positioned on the benzene ring. It falls under HTS 2904.99.04.00 as a nitrated and halogenated derivative of benzene, specifically one of the named monochloromononitrobenzenes in this subheading.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing more than one nitro group
Dinitro or polynitro derivatives of halogenated benzene fall under a separate subheading for multiple nitro groups.
If imported as a mixture with other halogenated nitrobenzenes
Mixtures of nitrated halogenated derivatives not specifically named may classify under the general 'other' provision.
If dissolved in solvent for safe transport exceeding general use criteria
Solutions beyond safety/transport purposes classify as chemical preparations rather than pure compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming ortho isomer purity to avoid misclassification as mixed isomers
• Ensure UN-approved packaging for hazardous materials (Class 6.1 toxic substance) with proper DOT/IMDG labeling
• Verify REACH compliance for EU imports and TSCA registration for US, as it's a listed chemical precursor
