Overview
This classification pertains to saturated acyclic hydrocarbons that have been chlorinated, excluding specific compounds listed under preceding subheadings. The primary focus is on chlorinated alkanes that do not fall into more precisely defined categories.
Within the "Saturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons" grouping, this "Other" category serves as a residual classification for compounds not explicitly enumerated in sibling subheadings. For instance, it excludes substances like 1,2-Dichloropropane and dichlorobutanes (2903.19.05.00), or hexachloroethane and tetrachloroethane (2903.19.10.00). The classification is determined by the chemical structure of the saturated acyclic hydrocarbon backbone and the presence of chlorine atoms, provided the specific compound is not otherwise specified.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, classification into 2903.19.30.00 relies on identifying the compound as a saturated chlorinated acyclic hydrocarbon that is not listed under any more specific sibling headings. Common examples of compounds falling under this residual category include sec-Butyl chloride, which is characterized by a four-carbon acyclic saturated hydrocarbon chain with a single chlorine atom substituted on the second carbon atom.
