Technical Grade Dichlorobenzonitrile Mixture from Japan
Technical grade mixture containing primarily 2,4- and 2,5-dichlorobenzonitrile isomers (85-95% purity) used directly in pesticide manufacturing. Still qualifies as 'chemically defined' under Chapter 29 note (a) for import under HTS 2926.90.1200. Isomeric ratio specified by GC analysis.

Import Tips
• Provide GC chromatogram showing isomeric composition and total purity
• Mixture must have consistent composition to qualify as 'chemically defined'
• Declare as intermediate, not pesticide, to avoid Chapter 38 classification
