Dicofol 18.5% EC Emulsifiable Concentrate
Dicofol 18.5% EC is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation containing 1,1-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethanol as the active acaricidal ingredient dissolved in aromatic solvents. While primarily a pesticide, high dicofol content keeps it under the specific chemical naming of HTS 2906.29.30.00. Used for mite control on citrus and cotton crops.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If active ingredient <10% or contains synergists like piperonyl butoxide
Lower concentration pesticide formulations classified as insecticides in Chapter 38.
If alcohol function esterified to form dicofol acetate
Aromatic alcohol esters classified in later heading 2909 per Chapter Note 5(A).
If solvent content >80% with dicofol as additive
Predominantly hydrocarbon solvent mixtures shift to Chapter 27 petroleum distillates.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Requires EPA Establishment Registration Number on label and FIFRA Section 17 import certification
• Flash point testing mandatory for EC formulations; many shipments rejected for missing solvent composition
• Storage temperature ≤30°C required; thermal decomposition common pitfall during ocean transit
