Trichloroacetic Acid Anhydride from Japan
Trichloroacetic anhydride, (Cl3CCO)2O, represents the anhydride form of trichloroacetic acid, fitting Chapter 29's scope for monocarboxylic acid anhydrides. HTS 2915.40.50 captures this as an 'other' derivative of trichloroacetic acid, used in acetylation reactions.

Import Tips
• Provide molecular weight confirmation (299.38 g/mol) distinguishing from mixed anhydrides
• Ship under UN 3265 designation with specific gravity 1.68 data
• Monitor for hydrolysis; store declarations must specify anhydrous conditions
