Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If <50% concentration or non-standard
Chapter note (d) limits to normal dilutions; excessive water may classify as other saturated acid solutions.
If with organic co-solvents beyond water
Note (e) excludes if solvent mix suits specific use over general transport.
If misdeclared as hydrochloric acid contaminant
Organic acid function dominates per classification notes over inorganic impurities.

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.
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.
