Overview

This classification, HTS Code 2926.90.11.00, specifically covers 2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile. This compound is an organic chemical characterized by a benzonitrile ring substituted with two chlorine atoms at the 2 and 6 positions. Its primary use is as an intermediate in the synthesis of various agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 2926.90.12.00 ("Other"), by its precise chemical structure. While the sibling category would encompass other dichlorobenzonitriles with different positional arrangements of the chlorine atoms or potentially other dichlorinated benzonitrile derivatives, this classification is solely for the 2,6-isomer. The specific arrangement of the substituents is the key differentiating factor for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 2926.90.11.00 relies on the definitive identification of the chemical compound as 2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile through analytical testing or product documentation, ensuring it meets the established chemical structure and is not intended for any specific end-use that might place it in a different chapter.
