What types of products fall under HS-4 2914?

HS-4 2914 covers ketones and quinones, including acetone, butanone, and various derivatives.

How do I choose the correct HS-6 code?

Identify the specific type of ketone or quinone, then select the corresponding HS-6 code based on its chemical structure and function.

Are there any restrictions on importing these chemicals?

Import restrictions may apply depending on the chemical's use and local regulations. Always check with your customs authority.

What does n.e.c. mean in HS-4 2914?

N.e.c. stands for 'not elsewhere classified,' indicating that the product does not fit into the specified categories.

Can I use HS-4 2914 for both ketones and quinones?

Yes, HS-4 2914 includes both ketones and quinones, but you must select the appropriate HS-6 for your specific product.

What is the difference between cyclanic and aromatic ketones?

Cyclanic ketones are based on cyclic structures, while aromatic ketones contain a benzene ring. Each has different subheadings under HS-4 2914.

HS-4 · Heading

2914 — Ketones and quinones; whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrostated derivatives

Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2914 when importing ketones and quinones, such as acetone or butanone. These chemicals are often used in solvents, coatings, and pharmaceuticals. Identifying the correct subheading is crucial for compliance and duty assessment.

When choosing between subheadings, consider the specific type of ketone. For example, 291411 covers acyclic ketones like acetone, while 291412 is for butanone. If your product is a different acyclic ketone not listed, use 291419.

For cyclanic ketones, 291422 includes cyclohexanone and its methyl derivatives, whereas 291423 covers ionones. If your product doesn't fit these specific types, look at 291429 for other cyclanic or cyclenic ketones.

Aromatic ketones fall under 291431 for phenylacetone and 291439 for other aromatic ketones. If your product has additional oxygen functions, such as alcohol or aldehyde groups, refer to 291440.
