Last updated: April 2026 dataBrominated aromatic ethers — including decabromodiphenyl oxide (2909300700) and bis-(tribromophenoxy)ethane (2909300900) — are flame retardants subject to ongoing regulatory scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions, making compliance documentation a key concern for importers. The heading also encompasses artificial musks (2909301000), odoriferous and flavoring compounds (2909302000), and pesticide-grade aromatic ethers (2909303000), each with distinct end-use regulatory pathways. China and India dominate supply, and Chinese-origin aromatic ethers broadly face Section 301 tariff exposure. Pesticide-classified imports additionally require EPA registration review under FIFRA.

Brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs) face restrictions under EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) review process, and certain congeners are subject to significant new use rules (SNURs). Importers should confirm TSCA compliance status for the specific BDE congener before shipment, as some are effectively prohibited from new commercial use in the US.
Aromatic ethers classified as pesticides under 2909303000 require EPA registration under FIFRA before importation. CBP coordinates with EPA to verify that the product is registered or exempt; unregistered pesticide imports are subject to refusal of entry and may be re-exported or destroyed at the importer's expense.
