6-Chloro-3-nitro-p-dimethoxybenzene

6-Chloro-3-nitro-p-dimethoxybenzene (also known as 1-chloro-4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzene) is a specifically named aromatic ether derivative with two methoxy groups, chlorine, and nitro substitution. Classified under HTS 2909.30.0500 due to its explicit mention in the tariff as a halogenated, nitrated dimethoxybenzene ether. Used in fine chemical synthesis for dyes and pharmaceuticals.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2909.30Same rate: 40.5%

If for similar but unnamed dimethoxybenzene derivatives

Only the three specifically named compounds get 2909.30.0500; others go to the residual aromatic ether category.

3204.11.50.00Higher: 41.5% vs 40.5%

If used directly as synthetic dye intermediate

Chapter exclusion note (g) routes coloring matter to Chapter 32, but pure chemicals remain in Chapter 29.

2932.99.70.00Lower: 31.5% vs 40.5%

If containing heterocyclic oxygen ring structure

Presence of additional cyclic ether functionality would shift to heterocyclic compounds in 2932.
