Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pure hexachloroethane crystals
Solid chlorinated aliphatics without mixture classify under Chapter 29 individual chemicals.
If primarily as prepared binder for foundry cores
Foundry mold binders have dedicated heading 3824.10 regardless of composition.
If fully assembled into safety fuses or pyrotechnic devices
Incorporated into ammunition or fireworks shifts to Chapter 36 explosives.
