Overview
This HTS code, 2903.79.10.00, specifically classifies bromochloromethane. Bromochloromethane is an acyclic hydrocarbon derivative containing both bromine and chlorine atoms attached to its carbon chain. It is a distinct chemical compound characterized by this specific halogen substitution pattern.
Distinguishing this code from its sibling, 2903.79.90, is crucial. While both fall under the broader category of "Halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens: Other," this specific code is reserved solely for bromochloromethane. The sibling category, 2903.79.90, encompasses all other halogenated acyclic hydrocarbons that contain at least two different halogens but are *not* bromochloromethane. Therefore, the key differentiator lies in the precise chemical identity of the compound.
As a leaf node within the HTS, 2903.79.10.00 has no further subcategories. Classification into this code is based on the definitive identification of the imported or exported substance as bromochloromethane. Importers and exporters must ensure their documentation accurately reflects this specific chemical compound to facilitate correct customs processing.
