Alternative Classifications

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

2917.39Same rate: 16.5%

If phthalic anhydride without tetrabromo substitution

Unsubstituted or differently halogenated phthalic anhydrides fall under 'other' aromatic polycarboxylic anhydrides.

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 16.5%

If imported as halohydrin precursor rather than cyclic anhydride

Halogenated derivatives of acyclic alcohols classify earlier in Chapter 29 under heading 2903.

3812.39Lower: 15% vs 16.5%

If when antioxidant-stabilized for rubber compounding

Mixtures of organic chemicals with rubber accelerators or antioxidants classify in heading 3812.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include Certificate of Analysis specifying >99% purity and isomer confirmation to prevent reclassification as 'other' aromatic anhydrides

Comply with EU REACH Annex XVII restrictions on brominated flame retardants for transshipment goods

Use secondary containment packaging per IATA dangerous goods regulations for air import
