Products classified under HTS 2915.90.50.10

Acetyl Chloride

Acetyl chloride is a colorless, fuming liquid used primarily as a reagent in organic synthesis for acetylation reactions. It falls under HTS 2915.90.50.10 as an acid chloride derivative of acetic acid, a saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid. The classification reflects its reactive chloride functional group.

Propionyl Chloride

Propionyl chloride serves as an acylating agent in pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing. Classified under HTS 2915.90.50.10 as the acid chloride of propionic acid, fitting the saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid derivatives. Its high reactivity requires stabilized packaging.

Butyryl Chloride

Butyryl chloride is utilized in ester and amide synthesis for flavor and fragrance production. It qualifies under HTS 2915.90.50.10 as an acid chloride of butyric acid, a saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid halide. The tariff covers its pure form with possible stabilizers.

Isobutyryl Chloride

Isobutyryl chloride, derived from isobutyric acid, acts as a key intermediate in polymer and pharmaceutical production. HTS 2915.90.50.10 covers it as a branched-chain saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid chloride. Its classification adheres to chapter rules for halides.
