Alternative Classifications

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

2918Lower: 14% vs 38.7%

If containing >0.5% impurities or blended with stabilizers

Impure epichlorohydrin or stabilized formulations classified as carboxylic acid derivatives rather than pure epoxides.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 38.7%

If imported as formulated solution for specific industrial application

Solutions not meeting Chapter 29 solvent/stabilizer exceptions fall under chemical preparations.

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 38.7%

If imported as epoxy resin precursor mixture with alcohols

Alcohol-epoxide mixtures classified by principal function under halogenated alcohols.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and purity certificates to verify classification under Chapter 29 as a chemically defined epoxide

Ensure drums are UN-approved for corrosive liquids (UN 2023) with proper Hazard Class 6.1 labeling

Avoid misclassification as mixtures; single-compound shipments must have assay >98% purity documentation
