2-Nitro-o-cresol Technical Grade
Technical grade 2-nitro-o-cresol contains minor impurities but remains a chemically defined nitrated o-cresol for pesticide manufacturing. Classified in HTS 2908.99.3300 as it matches dinitro-o-cresols exclusion criteria and 4-nitro-m-cresol listing. Chapter 29 note (a) allows impurities if chemically defined.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document impurity levels <5% to stay under pure compound definition; use UN-approved packaging for corrosive nitro compounds
• Pre-clear with CBP for technical vs. pure grade

2,6-Dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC)
2,6-Dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) is a nitrated derivative of o-cresol, specifically a dinitro-o-cresol excluding 4,6-DNOC, used primarily as an acaricide and insecticide in agriculture. It falls under HTS 2908.99.3300 as a nitrated phenol derivative per Chapter 29 notes for chemically defined organic compounds with nitro groups. These compounds are classified here due to their phenolic structure and nitration, distinct from excluded items like coloring matters.
2,4-Dinitro-o-cresol
2,4-Dinitro-o-cresol is a dinitrated derivative of ortho-cresol (2-methylphenol), excluding the 4,6-isomer, used in pesticidal formulations and as a chemical intermediate. Classified under HTS 2908.99.3300 as a nitrated phenol-alcohol per Chapter 29 scope for halogenated/nitrated phenol derivatives. Its two nitro groups on the phenolic ring distinguish it from simpler phenols.
4-Nitro-m-cresol
4-Nitro-m-cresol (4-nitro-3-methylphenol) is a mononitrated meta-cresol derivative used in synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as a pesticide intermediate. It qualifies for HTS 2908.99.3300 explicitly as listed in the subheading for nitrated phenols other than certain dinitro variants. Chapter 29 notes confirm classification for nitrosated/nitrated phenol derivatives.
6-Nitro-o-cresol
6-Nitro-o-cresol is a nitrated ortho-cresol isomer serving as an intermediate in agrochemical and explosive synthesis. Though not dinitro, it aligns under HTS 2908.99.3300's scope for specified nitrocresols like 4-nitro-m-cresol. Fits Chapter 29 as a chemically defined nitrated phenol derivative.
