Overview
This HTS classification covers specific halogenated aromatic ethers. The primary substances within this category are Bis(tribromophenoxy)ethane, Pentabromodiphenyl oxide, and Tetradecabromodiphenoxy benzene. These compounds are characterized by the presence of bromine atoms attached to phenyl ether structures, contributing to their flame-retardant properties and industrial applications.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by the precise chemical structure and degree of halogenation. For instance, sibling category 2909.30.07.00 specifically covers Decabromodiphenyl oxide and Octabromodiphenyl oxide, which have a higher degree of bromination on the diphenyl oxide core. Category 2909.30.05.00 covers different aromatic ethers and their nitro-substituted derivatives, indicating a distinct set of chemical modifications and applications.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2909.30.09.00 is determined by the precise identification of the listed chemical compounds. Importers and exporters must ensure that the goods precisely match the description to fall under this specific tariff line.
