Products classified under HTS 3824.82.90.00

Transformer Oil Contaminated with PCBs

Used electrical insulating oil from transformers containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), classified under HTS 3824.82.90.00 as a preparation containing PCBs not elsewhere specified. These oils were historically used for their dielectric properties but are now managed as hazardous waste.

Industrial Capacitor PCB Decontamination Fluid

Specialized solvent mixture containing PCBs used for cleaning decommissioned electrical capacitors, falling under HTS 3824.82.90.00 due to PCB content as per subheading note 3. These preparations are handled under strict environmental regulations.

PCB-Contaminated Hydraulic Fluid Waste

Waste hydraulic fluid from industrial machinery tainted with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), captured by HTS 3824.82.90.00 for mixtures containing PCBs. Used in heavy equipment but now regulated as hazardous due to contamination.

PBB Fire Retardant Chemical Mixture

Mixture containing polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) used as a flame retardant additive in plastics production, under HTS 3824.82.90.00 per subheading note 3. These are legacy chemicals phased out but still appear in waste streams.

PCT-Contaminated Plasticizer Preparation

Industrial plasticizer blend contaminated with polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs), classified in HTS 3824.82.90.00 as a preparation containing PCTs. Used in cable insulation manufacturing but now strictly controlled.

Electrical Equipment PCB Rinse Solution

Aqueous rinse solution containing trace PCBs from cleaning old electrical switchgear, under HTS 3824.82.90.00 for PCB-containing preparations. Essential for remediation of legacy contaminated equipment.

PBB-Contaminated Paint Additive Waste

Waste paint formulation containing polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) as a fire retardant, falling under HTS 3824.82.90.00 per subheading note 3. Legacy use in industrial coatings requires special disposal.

Mixed PCB/PBB Transformer Coolant

Cooling fluid from transformers containing both PCBs and PBBs, classified under HTS 3824.82.90.00 as 'other' preparations with these substances. Common in older electrical infrastructure maintenance.

PCT Electrical Insulating Compound

Compounded insulating material containing polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs) for high-voltage applications, under HTS 3824.82.90.00. Phased-out substance still found in remediation wastes.
