Overview
This HTS category, 2909.19.30.00, specifically classifies triethylene glycol dichloride. This compound is an acyclic ether derived from triethylene glycol where both terminal hydroxyl groups have been replaced by chlorine atoms. It is characterized by its chemical structure and is utilized in various industrial applications, often as a chemical intermediate.
Within the broader group of "Ethers of polyhydric alcohols," this code is distinct from its sibling category, 2909.19.60.00, which is designated for "Other" ethers of polyhydric alcohols not specifically enumerated elsewhere. Therefore, triethylene glycol dichloride is classified here because it represents a specific, named compound within this family, while the sibling category serves as a residual for unlisted polyhydric alcohol ethers.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this code is definitive for triethylene glycol dichloride based on its precise chemical identity. When making a classification decision, it is crucial to confirm that the product in question is indeed triethylene glycol dichloride and not another ether of a polyhydric alcohol.
