HS-4 · Heading

2934Nucleic acids and their salts, whether or not chemically defined; other heterocyclic compounds

Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2934 when importing or exporting nucleic acids and heterocyclic compounds like thiazole or phenothiazine derivatives. For example, a shipment of benzothiazole used in pharmaceuticals falls under this heading.

When deciding between HS-6 293410 and HS-6 293420, note that the former includes compounds with an unfused thiazole ring, while the latter is for those containing a benzothiazole ring-system. Ensure you check the structure of your product carefully.

If your product features a phenothiazine ring-system, it should be classified under HS-6 293430. For other compounds not specifically mentioned in the previous lines, consider HS-6 293491 for miscellaneous heterocyclic compounds.

For fentanyls and their derivatives that don’t fit into the previous categories, use HS-6 293492. If your product is a nucleic acid or another heterocyclic compound not classified elsewhere in this heading, HS-6 293499 may be appropriate.

Questions & answers

For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.

What types of products are included in HS-4 2934?
HS-4 2934 includes nucleic acids, their salts, and various heterocyclic compounds such as thiazoles, benzothiazoles, and phenothiazines.
How do I determine the correct HS-6 code for my product?
Identify the specific chemical structure of your product. Compare it against the descriptions of HS-6 subheadings to find the best match.
What does n.e.c. mean in the context of HS codes?
n.e.c. stands for 'not elsewhere classified,' indicating that the product does not fit into the specified categories but still falls under the broader heading.
Are there any specific import regulations for nucleic acids?
Yes, importing nucleic acids may require compliance with specific regulations, including safety assessments and documentation for biological materials.
Can I use HS-4 2934 for all heterocyclic compounds?
No, you must classify heterocyclic compounds based on their specific structures under the appropriate HS-6 subheading.
What is the significance of the benzothiazole ring in classification?
The presence of a benzothiazole ring determines whether a compound falls under HS-6 293420, which is specifically for compounds with that structure.
How can I find more information on HS-4 2934?
Consult the Harmonized System documentation or reach out to a customs broker for detailed guidance on classification and regulations.
