Products classified under HTS 2915.40.10.00
Monochloroacetic Acid (MCA)
Monochloroacetic acid is a colorless crystalline solid used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the production of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and agrochemicals. It falls under HTS 2915.40.1000 as a saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid that is halogenated with chlorine. This classification applies to the pure chemical compound meeting the chapter's definition for separate chemically defined organic compounds.
Sodium Monochloroacetate
Sodium monochloroacetate is the sodium salt of monochloroacetic acid, widely used in the manufacture of surfactants and herbicides. It is classified under HTS 2915.40.1000 per chapter note on inorganic salts of organic acid-function compounds following the parent acid's heading. This ensures classification with the organic acid rather than inorganic salts.
Methyl Chloroacetate
Methyl chloroacetate is the methyl ester of monochloroacetic acid, serving as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis and dyes. Classified in HTS 2915.40.1000 as the ester follows the parent acid per chapter note on ester classification in numerical order. It meets criteria for chemically defined organic compounds with halogenated derivatives.
Ethyl Chloroacetate
Ethyl chloroacetate, an ester of monochloroacetic acid with ethyl alcohol, is used in perfumery and as a solvent intermediate. It falls under HTS 2915.40.1000 following chapter note (B) for ethyl esters classified with the acid-function compound. This maintains consistency for halogenated derivatives.
Chloroacetic Acid 80% Aqueous Solution
An 80% aqueous solution of monochloroacetic acid standardized for safe transport and industrial use in cellulose ether production. Classified under HTS 2915.40.1000 per chapter note (d) for products of (a) dissolved in water. The solvent is necessary for safety without specific use adaptation.
Potassium Monochloroacetate
Potassium salt of monochloroacetic acid used in specialty detergents and as a buffering agent. HTS 2915.40.1000 applies via chapter note (C)(1) classifying inorganic salts with the organic acid component. Ensures proper placement among halogenated monocarboxylic derivatives.
Butyl Chloroacetate
Butyl ester of monochloroacetic acid employed in plasticizer synthesis and coatings. Classified in HTS 2915.40.1000 as the ester aligns with the latest numerical order acid per chapter notes. Qualifies as halogenated saturated acyclic monocarboxylic derivative.
Chloroacetic Acid Flakes with Stabilizer
Stabilized monochloroacetic acid in flake form to prevent polymerization during storage and transport. Falls under HTS 2915.40.1000 per chapter note (f) allowing necessary stabilizers for preservation. Remains a separate chemically defined compound.
Ammonium Monochloroacetate
Ammonium salt of monochloroacetic acid used in agricultural formulations and water treatment. Classified under HTS 2915.40.1000 following chapter note (C)(2) for salts between organic acid and base, taking latest numerical order. Halogenated acid function prevails.
Isopropyl Chloroacetate
Isopropyl ester of monochloroacetic acid utilized in pharmaceutical esterification processes. HTS 2915.40.1000 classification per ester rules tracking the halogenated acid parent. Chemically defined with saturated acyclic structure.
