3825.41.00.00 - Halogenated

This HTS category, 3825.41.00.00, specifically encompasses waste organic solvents that contain halogens. These are typically materials that were previously used as solvents in various industrial processes and have become unsuitable for their original purpose due to contamination or degradation. The presence of halogenated compounds (such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine) is a key defining characteristic for classification within this heading.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 3825.49.00.00, by the explicit requirement of halogen content. While both categories deal with waste organic solvents, 3825.49.00.00 covers such solvents that are *not* halogenated. Therefore, the presence or absence of halogens in the waste solvent is the critical factor in determining the correct classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 3825.41.00.00 is complete once the material is identified as a waste organic solvent containing halogens and not elsewhere specified or included in more specific waste categories. Examples could include spent chlorinated degreasers or used halogenated cleaning fluids that have reached the end of their useful life.
