N-Ethyl Perfluorooctane Sulfonamide with Stabilizer

This is N-ethyl perfluorooctane sulfonamide formulated with an added stabilizer for preservation during transport, maintaining its identity as a chemically defined organic compound. Classified under HTS 2935.20.00.00 per Chapter 29 note (f), as the stabilizer is necessary and does not change its general chemical use. Commonly used in producing water-resistant coatings and as a PFAS intermediate.

Alternative Classifications

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

3812Lower: 15% vs 16.5%

If stabilizer renders it suitable for specific surfactant preparation

Additives making it particularly suitable for specific use exclude it from Chapter 29 per note (g), moving to prepared additives of 3812.

2942.00Lower: 13.7% vs 16.5%

If imported as a salt of the sulfonamide

Organic salts classify with the parent compound, but if formed with inorganic bases, may fall under 2942 per Chapter note on salts.

Import Tips & Compliance

Document stabilizer composition in SDS to prove necessity for preservation per Chapter 29 note (f); excess additives risk reclassification

Comply with TSCA Import Certification for PFAS; declare as new chemical if not on inventory

Label containers clearly for safety/emetic additions under note (g) to avoid customs delays
