Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily used as cleaning solvent rather than chemical mixture
Organic solvent mixtures for surface cleaning fall under 3814, but must not emphasize halogenated derivatives as principal characteristic.
If imported as pure chemical substance without additives
Pure chlorinated methanes like dichloromethane are classified as individual halogenated hydrocarbons in Chapter 29, not mixtures.
If contaminated with persistent organic pollutants listed in 3824 notes
Mixtures containing specific banned substances (DDT, PCBs, etc.) from 3824 subheading notes shift to chemical waste preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify mixture composition via lab analysis to confirm only chlorinated (not other halogens) derivatives of methane/ethane/propane per subheading requirements
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and EPA registration if marketed as pesticide-related; avoid misclassification as finished paint (3208/3209)
