Last updated: August 2026 dataTetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA, 2908192500) — a flame retardant widely used in printed circuit boards — shares this heading with chlorinated phenols such as meta-chlorophenol and chlorothymol (2908191000), pentachlorophenol salts (2908192000), and fluorinated bisphenol intermediates (2908190500), reflecting the chemical diversity of halogen-substituted phenolic compounds. Jordan and Germany lead US import supply, with Japan and Israel also contributing. Several compounds in this heading, particularly chlorinated phenols, are subject to EPA TSCA restrictions and may require SNUR compliance review. Importers of TBBPA should also be aware of ongoing international regulatory scrutiny under the Stockholm Convention framework.

Yes. Pentachlorophenol is a restricted-use pesticide regulated by EPA, and its salts face TSCA-based use restrictions. Importers must verify that the intended end use is permitted under current EPA registrations and TSCA rules, and should consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory counsel before importing.
CBP requires that the chemical identity be clearly established through a certificate of analysis confirming the tetrabromobisphenol A structure. Fluorinated bisphenol intermediates enter under the separate line 2908190500, so the halogen type and substitution pattern are the key classification determinants — ambiguous cases may warrant a binding ruling request.
