Last updated: July 2026 dataShort-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs, C10–C13) are listed under the Stockholm Convention as persistent organic pollutants, and their presence in imported goods — whether as a primary constituent or a processing additive — triggers classification under this heading per Chapter 38 Subheading Note 3. The single tariff line 3824890000 applies broadly to any article where SCCPs are present at a classifiable level, making this heading relevant not only to chemical importers but also to manufacturers of rubber, plastics, metalworking fluids, and leather goods. Germany, Thailand, Japan, India, and China are among the leading US source countries, reflecting the wide industrial base that historically used SCCPs as plasticizers and flame retardants.

Importers of PVC compounds, rubber products, metalworking fluids, leather finishing agents, and certain paints or sealants face the highest exposure. SCCPs were widely used as plasticizers and flame retardants in these sectors, and residual content in finished goods or intermediates can trigger classification under 3824890000 and EPA TSCA review.
Subheading Note 3 directs that goods containing SCCPs are classified here regardless of the broader chapter or heading that might otherwise apply to the article. This means the SCCP content overrides the primary material classification, so importers must test and disclose SCCP levels even for goods that would ordinarily be classified in other chapters.
