Halogenated waste organic solvents — spent chlorinated, fluorinated, brominated, or iodinated solvents such as used trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, or methylene chloride — are classified under tariff line 3825410000 and are distinguished from non-halogenated solvent wastes by their higher toxicity and stricter disposal requirements. Under RCRA, many of these materials qualify as listed hazardous wastes (F-list or U-list), triggering manifest, storage, and treatment standards that importers must satisfy before the goods can be accepted at a US facility. The halogenated designation is critical at classification: mixing halogenated and non-halogenated solvent wastes can create classification ambiguity and compliance risk.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A solvent waste is halogenated if it contains compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a halogen (chlorine, fluorine, bromine, or iodine). Common examples include spent perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene. Mixed streams containing both halogenated and non-halogenated solvents require careful analysis to determine the correct heading, and the RCRA regulatory status of the specific compounds should also be confirmed.
Yes. Halogenated waste solvents are typically listed as hazardous wastes under the Basel Convention, which governs transboundary movement of hazardous waste. While the US has not ratified Basel, it has bilateral agreements with certain trading partners, and the exporting country's obligations under Basel may affect whether a shipment can legally be sent to the US.
