Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2942 when importing organic compounds that don't fit into other specific categories in Chapter 29. For example, if you're shipping a unique organic compound used in specialty chemicals, this is the code to consider.

Choosing between HS-4 2942 and other nearby codes can be tricky. For instance, if your product is a specific organic compound with a known application, it might fall under a more specific HS-6 line. Always check the descriptions carefully to ensure proper classification.

If you're unsure about the exact nature of your organic compound, remember that HS-4 2942 is a catch-all for those not explicitly defined elsewhere in the chapter. This can include a variety of organic chemicals used in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, or industrial applications.
