Trifluralin Technical Grade Herbicide
Pure α,α,α-Trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine (Trifluralin) in technical grade form, a chemically defined aromatic monoamine derivative used as the active ingredient in pre-emergent herbicides. It falls under HTS 2921.43.1500 as a toluidine derivative per Chapter 29 notes for separate organic compounds. Typically supplied as a yellowish oil or wetted powder for formulation into end-use products.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If formulated with carriers, surfactants, or diluted beyond technical grade
Formulated herbicide preparations containing trifluralin as active ingredient shift to Chapter 38 heading 3808 for plant growth regulators, excluding pure compounds of Chapter 29.
If imported as a chemical preparation or mixture with impurities exceeding Chapter 29 purity standards
Mixtures of organic chemicals not meeting 'separate chemically defined compound' criteria under Chapter 29 note (a) fall to Chapter 38 as other chemical preparations.
If classified primarily by saturated acyclic structure despite aromatic amine function
Rare misclassification possible if customs ignores toluidine derivative specificity, but Chapter 29 note prioritizes amine-function aromatic compounds over hydrocarbon aspects.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain EPA registration and provide technical data sheets confirming 95%+ purity as trifluralin to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documenting chemical identity per Chapter 29 note (a); ensure proper UN 3345 hazard labeling
• Verify importer has pesticide storage permits; common pitfall is failing to declare as 'technical grade' leading to higher duties under formulated headings
