Thiodiglycol (INN), classified at 2930700000, is a bifunctional thioether diol with legitimate commercial uses as a textile dye solvent, a lubricant additive, and a chemical intermediate for polyesters and surfactants. It is also a direct hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard (a CWC Schedule 2 chemical), which places it on international watch lists and subjects imports to Commerce Department dual-use scrutiny under the Export Administration Regulations. Despite its industrial utility, importers should expect heightened customs examination and should prepare end-use certificates and consignee documentation as a matter of routine practice.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Thiodiglycol is listed under CWC Schedule 2 because it is both a precursor to and a breakdown product of sulfur mustard (HD). The CWC does not restrict legitimate commercial use, but it requires national authorities to monitor production, import, and export. In the US, BIS administers these controls, and importers may need to file end-use statements even for textile or lubricant applications.
Yes — thiodiglycol (bis(2-hydroxyethyl) sulfide) has a dedicated heading at 293070 (single line 2930700000). References to thiodiglycol appearing in the description of line 2930909208 under heading 293090 reflect a different, combined provision covering multiple compounds; if the imported product is pure thiodiglycol, heading 293070 takes precedence as the more specific provision.
