Ethylene Oxide (Pure)
Ethylene oxide is a colorless, flammable gas with the chemical formula C2H4O, classified as a three-membered ring epoxide under HTS 2910.10.00.00. It serves as a fundamental organic compound used primarily in industrial synthesis rather than for specific consumer applications.
Ethylene Oxide 99.9% Purity USP Grade
High-purity ethylene oxide meeting USP standards for pharmaceutical applications, a separate chemically defined epoxide under Chapter 29 note (a). It fits HTS 2910.10.00.00 due to its three-membered ring structure and lack of impurities affecting classification.
Stabilized Ethylene Oxide with Inhibitor
Ethylene oxide with added stabilizer for safe transport, permissible under Chapter 29 note (f) without changing its classification as the principal epoxide. It remains under HTS 2910.10.00.00 as the stabilizer is solely for preservation.
Ethylene Oxide in DOT-39 Cylinders
Compressed ethylene oxide gas packaged in non-refillable DOT-39 cylinders, a standard form for industrial shipment of this epoxide. Classified under HTS 2910.10.00.00 as the pure compound with transport packaging.
Industrial Ethylene Oxide for Sterilization
Ethylene oxide designated for gas sterilization in medical device manufacturing, still a separate chemically defined compound under HTS 2910.10.00.00. Its epoxide ring defines classification regardless of labeled end-use.
Ethylene Oxide with Emetic Additive
Ethylene oxide with added emetic for safety identification, allowed under Chapter 29 note (g) without specific use suitability. Remains classified as the epoxide in HTS 2910.10.00.00.
