About HS Code 292521
This HS code specifically covers chlordimeform, an organochlorine insecticide and acaricide. Historically used in agriculture, its trade and use have become highly restricted or banned in many countries due to significant environmental and health concerns, particularly its carcinogenic potential and persistence in the environment. Consequently, international trade is extremely limited and subject to stringent regulatory controls under international conventions like the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Importers might be specialized agricultural chemical companies in regions where its use is still permitted under very specific, controlled conditions, and exporters would be chemical manufacturers adhering to strict international guidelines and licensing requirements.
Products Under This Code
Chlordimeform technical grade, chlordimeform hydrochloride, chlordimeform formulations (for restricted use)
Real World Examples
Galecron (historical brand name for chlordimeform), Fundal (historical brand name)
