2903.69.10.00 - Acetylene tetrabromide; alkyl bromides, other than methyl bromide (bromomethane); methylene dibromide; and vinyl bromide

This HTS classification, 2903.69.10.00, specifically covers a defined group of brominated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons. It encompasses acetylene tetrabromide, methylene dibromide, vinyl bromide, and alkyl bromides with the exception of methyl bromide. These compounds are characterized by the presence of bromine atoms attached to acyclic carbon chains or double bonds, and their applications often range from industrial solvents and fumigants to chemical intermediates in synthesis.

The primary distinction of this category from its sibling, 2903.69.90.00, lies in the specific substances enumerated within its description. While 2903.69.90.00 serves as a residual category for "other" brominated or iodinated acyclic hydrocarbons not specifically listed, 2903.69.10.00 provides definitive headings for a set of commonly traded and well-defined chemical compounds. Importers and exporters must carefully verify that the chemical identity of their product precisely matches one of the listed substances to ensure correct classification.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 2903.69.10.00 is on the precise identification of acetylene tetrabromide, methylene dibromide, vinyl bromide, and alkyl bromides (excluding methyl bromide). Classification relies on confirming the chemical composition and ensuring the absence of methyl bromide as the sole alkyl bromide, which would fall under a different tariff line.
