About heading 2903
Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
Heading 2903 covers halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons, meaning hydrocarbons where one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. The heading is split first by parent structure: acyclic (2903.11 to 2903.79), cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic (2903.81 to 2903.89), and aromatic (2903.91 to 2903.99). Acyclic lines are further split into saturated chlorinated, unsaturated chlorinated, saturated fluorinated, unsaturated fluorinated, brominated or iodinated, and compounds with two or more different halogens.
