What is cyclohexane used for?

Cyclohexane is primarily used as a solvent and in the production of nylon and other chemicals.

Is cyclohexane considered hazardous?

Yes, cyclohexane is flammable and can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, so proper safety measures are essential.

What packaging is required for cyclohexane?

Cyclohexane should be shipped in appropriate containers, such as drums or ISO tanks, that can handle flammable liquids.

How do I find the right HS code for my cyclohexane shipment?

Use HS code **290211** for pure cyclohexane. Check with your customs broker if you have mixtures or derivatives.

Can cyclohexane be mixed with other chemicals?

Yes, but you need to ensure that the mixture complies with safety regulations and has the correct HS code.

What are the import regulations for cyclohexane?

Import regulations vary by country; consult your customs broker for specific requirements related to cyclohexane.

How should cyclohexane be stored?

Store cyclohexane in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials.

What are the risks of shipping cyclohexane?

Shipping cyclohexane poses risks due to its flammability and potential health hazards; ensure compliance with safety regulations.

HS-6 · Subheading

290211

Cyclic hydrocarbons; cyclohexane

Heading 2902 — Cyclic hydrocarbons

Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 290211 when importing or exporting cyclohexane, a colorless liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor. For example, if you are shipping cyclohexane in bulk containers for use in chemical manufacturing, this is the correct code.

This code specifically covers cyclohexane, which is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon often used as a solvent or in the production of nylon. It differs from HS-6 290212, which includes other cyclic hydrocarbons like methylcyclopentane.

When classifying cyclohexane, consider its applications. It's commonly used in the production of adipic acid and caprolactam, key intermediates in the manufacture of synthetic fibers. Knowing the end-use can help ensure correct classification.

If you're dealing with cyclohexane derivatives or mixtures, you may need to look at other codes under the 2902 heading. For instance, HS-6 290219 covers other cyclic hydrocarbons that don't fall under the specific definitions of cyclohexane.
