Products classified under HTS 3602.00.00.60
HMX (Cyclotetramethylene Tetranitramine) Crystals
HMX is a powerful nitroamine high explosive used in military applications and commercial blasting. Classified under HTS 3602.00.00.60 as 'other' prepared explosives, distinct from propellant powders, due to its high detonation velocity and brisance.
EDDN (Ethylene Diamine Dinitrate) Flakes
EDDN provides oxygen balance in mixed explosive formulations for mining. Falls under HTS 3602.00.00.60 as prepared explosive, other than propellants.
Ammonium Picrate Yellow Powder
Ammonium picrate serves as bursting charge in shells and dyes. Prepared explosive status places it in HTS 3602.00.00.60.
Diazodinitrophenol (DDNP) Initiator
DDNP functions as non-metal primary explosive in detonators. HTS 3602.00.00.60 covers as other prepared explosive.
Picrate Salts Explosive
Lead picrate and similar salts used in primers and detonators. HTS 3602.00.00.60 classification for these highly sensitive prepared explosives.
TATP (Triacetone Triperoxide) Explosive
TATP is a high explosive organic peroxide commonly synthesized from household chemicals like acetone, hydrogen peroxide, and acid. It falls under HTS 3602.00.00.60 as a prepared explosive, other than propellant powders, due to its use in improvised explosive devices and lack of specific subheading classification.
RDX (Cyclonite) Explosive Powder
RDX is a nitramine explosive widely used in plastic explosives like C-4 and military ordnance. It qualifies for HTS 3602.00.00.60 as a prepared explosive other than propellants, valued for its stability and high performance.
PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate) Crystals
PETN is a sensitive nitrate ester explosive used in detonating cords and booster charges. It falls under HTS 3602.00.00.60 for other prepared explosives, noted for its high detonation velocity.
Semtex Plastic Explosive
Semtex is a general-purpose plastic explosive composed of RDX, plasticizer, and binder, infamous for its malleability. Classified in HTS 3602.00.00.60 as other prepared explosives suitable for shaped charges and breaching.
Tetryl (2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl-Methylnitramine)
Tetryl serves as a primary high explosive and booster in detonators despite sensitivity concerns. HTS 3602.00.00.60 covers it as other prepared explosive due to nitroaromatic composition.
