Bromoxynil Octanoate Pyridinium Dibromide

This is a specific formulation of 1-[N,N-Dialkyl (≤C10)-N-(n-(hydroxyl, cyano, acetoxy)alkyl (≤C10)) ammonio]-n-n-[N-(3-dimethylcarbamoxy-α-picolinyl)-N,N-dialkyl (≤C10) ammonio]decane dibromide with n=4, featuring a cyano-functionalized alkyl chain. It falls under HTS 2933.39.61.20 as a heterocyclic compound containing an unfused pyridine ring with the exact quaternary ammonium structure specified in the subheading. Used primarily as an intermediate in herbicide synthesis.

Alternative Classifications

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

3808.93.15.00Higher: 41.5% vs 6.5%

If imported as formulated herbicide containing >50% active ingredient

Formulated pesticidal products with this compound as active ingredient are classified in Chapter 38 based on end use rather than pure chemical structure.

2933.39.21.00Same rate: 6.5%

If it has a different pyridine substitution pattern not matching the 3-dimethylcarbamoxy-α-picolinyl group

Other pyridine quaternary ammonium compounds fall under the broader 2933.39.21 subheading without the specific decane dibromide structure.

2923.20.10.00Higher: 35% vs 6.5%

If imported as a non-heterocyclic quaternary ammonium salt without the pyridine ring

Absence of the required unfused pyridine ring structure moves classification to Chapter 29 cyclic amides/derivatives.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact chemical structure matches the n=1-8 specification with lab analysis certificates; ensure compliance with additional U.S. note 3 to section VI for duty-free eligibility; obtain EPA import notifications if destined for pesticide production
