3824.82.90.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 3824.82.90.00, specifically covers "Other" chemical products and preparations that fall under the broader category of goods containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs), or polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs). These are substances that, due to their persistent and toxic nature, are subject to international regulations and require careful classification. The "Other" designation signifies that any mixtures or preparations containing these halogenated organic compounds that are not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings, such as those that are only chlorinated but not otherwise halogenated (3824.82.10.00), will be classified here.

The key distinguishing feature of this category is the presence of PCBs, PCTs, or PBBs, which are complex mixtures of synthetic organic chemicals. Unlike simpler chlorinated compounds, these are characterized by multiple chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl or terphenyl structures, or bromine atoms attached to biphenyl structures. The classification hinges on the *presence* and *nature* of these specific halogenated compounds within the chemical mixture or preparation.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories within 3824.82.90.00. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes lies on accurately identifying whether a product contains PCBs, PCTs, or PBBs and ensuring it does not fit into any more specific preceding subheadings within the 3824.82 group. Examples could include specialized dielectric fluids, hydraulic fluids, or plasticizers where these regulated substances are present as components, and which are not otherwise specified.
