Chlorobenzilate Technical Grade

Pure chlorobenzilate (ISO), a chlorinated carboxylic acid ester with alcohol function but no other oxygen functions, used as the active ingredient in acaricides. It falls under HTS 2918.18.00.00 as a chemically defined organic compound matching the specific description for chlorobenzilate. Typically supplied as white to off-white powder for formulation into pesticides.

Alternative Classifications

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

3808.91Lower: 15% vs 41.5%

If formulated as insecticide/acaricide with additives

Formulations exceeding simple solutions with stabilizers fall under Chapter 38 for pesticides, not pure Chapter 29 compounds.

2933.99Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

If containing heterocyclic ring structure dominating classification

If chlorobenzilate's structure is interpreted as primarily heterocyclic rather than carboxylic acid with alcohol function, it moves to heading 2933.
