Triethylene Glycol Dichloride
Triethylene glycol dichloride is a halogenated acyclic ether derivative of polyhydric alcohols, specifically 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether (ClCH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2CH2Cl). It falls under HTS 2909.19.30.00 as it matches the exact description of ethers of polyhydric alcohols that are halogenated derivatives. This chemical is used primarily as a solvent and intermediate in organic synthesis.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically triethylene glycol dichloride but another ether of polyhydric alcohol
Other ethers of polyhydric alcohols fall into the residual 'Other' subheading within the same acyclic ethers category.
If classified primarily by its dichloride functional groups rather than ether structure
Halogenated derivatives of acyclic alcohols may shift to Chapter 29 heading 2903 if ether linkage is not principal characteristic.
If when imported as mixture with solvents or stabilizers exceeding Chapter 29 purity limits
Chemical mixtures not meeting 'separate chemically defined compounds' criteria move to Chapter 38 prepared chemical preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates confirming purity and structure to verify classification under 2909 as a halogenated acyclic ether
ā¢ Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documenting hazards as a chlorinated solvent to comply with TSCA import requirements
ā¢ Avoid misclassification as pesticide intermediates by ensuring no agricultural end-use labeling or packaging
