Last updated: August 2026 dataEpichlorohydrin is a reactive epoxide intermediate whose primary commercial role is as a building block for epoxy resins, synthetic glycerin, and water-treatment chemicals. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (2910300000), simplifying classification but not necessarily duty exposure—South Korea and Germany are among the leading suppliers, and shipments from certain origins may carry antidumping or Section 301 scrutiny depending on trade-remedy orders in effect at the time of entry. Proper handling documentation, including SDS compliance and hazardous-materials shipping declarations, is required given the compound's reactive and toxic profile.

Trade-remedy exposure depends on the country of origin and any antidumping or countervailing duty orders active at the time of entry. Importers should check the USITC and Commerce Department order lists for the specific origin before filing an entry, as orders can be added, modified, or revoked through periodic reviews.
Epichlorohydrin is classified as a hazardous material under DOT regulations, requiring proper UN packaging, labeling, and shipping papers. EPA Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) import certification is also required, and importers must certify that the substance either complies with TSCA or is not subject to it. Consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory specialist for entry-specific compliance.
