Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-mixed with polymeric MDI
Commercial 'TDI/MDI blends' for rigid foam classify as 'other isocyanates' since no longer unmixed toluenediisocyanates.
If polyurethane prepolymer
TDI reacted with polyether polyol forms polyurethane prepolymer of Chapter 39, excluded from Chapter 29 pure compounds.
If substituted toluene amines
TDA (toluenediamine) precursors without isocyanate groups classify under Chapter 29 acyclic alcohols/phenols, earlier numerical order.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and isomer ratio certificate; use nitrogen-blanketed containers to prevent carbodiimide formation; verify DOT 6.1 PG II classification

Toluene-2,4-Diisocyanate (TDI 80/20)
Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) in an 80/20 isomer mixture is a chemically defined aromatic isocyanate used primarily in polyurethane production. It falls under HTS 2929.10.10.00 as an unmixed toluenediisocyanate, a compound with 'other nitrogen function' featuring the -NCO group directly linked to the toluene ring. This subheading specifies pure TDI without blending with other isocyanates.
Toluene-2,6-Diisocyanate (Pure Isomer)
Pure toluene-2,6-diisocyanate is a specific isomer of TDI used in specialty polyurethane elastomers and coatings. Classified under HTS 2929.10.10.00 as it meets the definition of unmixed toluenediisocyanates with the characteristic isocyanate nitrogen function. Chapter 29 applies to separate chemically defined organic compounds like this aromatic diisocyanate.
TDI-100 (2,4-TDI Pure Grade)
TDI-100 refers to 100% 2,4-toluenediisocyanate without 2,6-isomer contamination, used in high-performance coatings and adhesives. This unmixed form qualifies for HTS 2929.10.10.00 under isocyanates, as a chemically defined compound with the -NCO nitrogen function per Chapter 29 scope.
Suprasec 5005 (Huntsman TDI 80/20)
Huntsman Suprasec 5005 is stabilized 80/20 TDI with <25 ppm moisture content for flexible foam production. As unmixed toluenediisocyanate, it falls squarely under HTS 2929.10.10.00 per Chapter 29 note (f) allowing stabilizers for transport without changing classification.
