2910.40.00.00 - Dieldrin (ISO, INN)

This HTS category, 2910.40.00.00, specifically covers Dieldrin, an organochlorine insecticide. Dieldrin is a cyclic terpene derivative characterized by its epoxide functional group and its potent insecticidal properties. Its classification within Chapter 29 signifies its status as a distinct organic chemical compound with a defined chemical structure.

Dieldrin is distinguished from its sibling categories by its specific chemical identity and intended use. For instance, Oxirane (Ethylene oxide) and Methyloxirane (Propylene oxide) are simpler epoxides serving as fundamental building blocks in the chemical industry. 1-Chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (Epichlorohydrin) is also an epoxide derivative but is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of epoxy resins and other chemicals. Endrin, a closely related insecticide, is an isomer of Dieldrin but possesses a different stereochemical configuration and slightly varied properties, necessitating its separate classification.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 2910.40.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under this code is direct and specific to the compound Dieldrin. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods being declared precisely match the chemical identity and properties of Dieldrin to ensure correct classification and compliance with customs regulations, particularly given its historical use and regulatory status as a pesticide.
