Import Tips & Compliance
• UN3483 Pyrophoric liquid packaging group I—requires Type 1A1 steel drums with nitrogen padding
• Extremely toxic cadmium compound; OSHA PEL 0.005 mg/m³ exposure documentation required
• Customs may require end-user certificate due to semiconductor dual-use concerns

Tetraethyl Lead (TEL)
Tetraethyl lead is an organo-inorganic compound where lead atoms are directly linked to carbon in ethyl groups, used historically as an antiknock additive in gasoline. It falls under HTS 2931.90.90 as 'other organo-inorganic compounds' since it contains a metal (lead) directly bonded to carbon and doesn't fit specific subheadings. The chapter notes confirm classification in heading 2931 for such metal-carbon bonded compounds.
Trimethyl Bismuth
Trimethyl bismuth (Bi(CH3)3) is a volatile organobismuth compound with bismuth-carbon bonds, used in MOCVD semiconductor manufacturing. Classified under 2931.90.90 as other organo-inorganic compounds per chapter notes defining heading 2931 for metal-carbon linkages. Excluded from organosulfur (2930) or heterocyclic categories.
Triphenyl Antimony
Triphenyl antimony (SbPh3) features antimony-carbon bonds characteristic of organo-inorganic compounds in heading 2931. Used as a catalyst in PET resin production and flame retardant intermediate. Falls in 2931.90.90 as it doesn't match specific organo-inorganic subheadings.
