Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains >5% unidentified isomers or stabilizers
Mixtures of isomers exceeding chemical definition purity classify as chemical preparations.
If dinitro or polyhalogenated variants
Compounds with additional nitro/halogen groups fall to later 'other' subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit HPLC chromatogram showing isomer ratio and total purity >98% for customs verification
• Use nitrogen-blanketed containers to prevent oxidation during ocean transit
• Confirm no 2-chloronitrobenzene (>1%) as o-isomer has separate 2904.99.0200 subheading

3-Chloronitrobenzene
3-Chloronitrobenzene is a monochloromononitrobenzene derivative featuring a single chlorine and nitro group on a benzene ring. It falls under HTS 2904.99.08.00 as a nitrated derivative of a halogenated hydrocarbon (chlorobenzene). Used primarily as an intermediate in dye and pharmaceutical synthesis.
4-Chloronitrobenzene
4-Chloronitrobenzene (p-chloronitrobenzene) contains nitro and chlorine substituents in para position on benzene. Classified in HTS 2904.99.08.00 as 'other' monochloromononitrobenzenes (excluding ortho isomer). Key intermediate for pesticides and rubber antioxidants.
3,5-Dichloronitrobenzene (Refined)
3,5-Dichloronitrobenzene technically fits 'monochloromononitrobenzenes' broadly but classified here as specialty 'other' derivative. HTS 2904.99.08.00 covers nitrated halogenated hydrocarbons beyond ortho isomer. Used in pharmaceutical brightening agents.
4-Chloro-2-Nitrobenzene (Technical Grade)
Technical grade 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzene with 96% purity, minor meta impurities. Falls under HTS 2904.99.08.00 as non-ortho monochloromononitrobenzene derivative. Intermediate for fluoroaromatic compounds.
p-Chloronitrobenzene Flakes
p-Chloronitrobenzene solidified into yellow flakes for easier handling. Retains HTS 2904.99.08.00 classification as physical form doesn't affect chemical definition. Preferred for dye coupling agent production.
