U.S. imports of ethylene dibromide (1,2-dibromoethane) (HS 290362) totaled $3K in May 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: May 2026 dataEthylene dibromide (EDB) is a dense, halogenated solvent historically used as a lead scavenger in leaded gasoline and as a soil and grain fumigant, though its agricultural use in the US has been largely restricted by EPA due to carcinogenicity concerns. India is the sole recorded US import source, reflecting concentrated global production capacity. Current commercial demand is driven primarily by specialty chemical synthesis, including pharmaceutical intermediates and flame-retardant precursors. US imports clear under tariff line 2903621000.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Following EPA restrictions on its use as a soil and grain fumigant, EDB's main current applications are as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, as a precursor for flame retardants, and in specialty laboratory and industrial chemistry. Importers should confirm that the intended end use complies with current EPA TSCA and pesticide registration requirements.
With India as the only recorded supplier, importers face concentration risk if production or export capacity is disrupted. From a classification standpoint, EDB has its own dedicated 10-digit line (2903621000), so misclassification into the broader brominated derivatives NESOI heading is a common error to guard against when the product is clearly identified as 1,2-dibromoethane.
