HS-6 · Subheading
290322
Unsaturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons; trichloroethylene
Heading 2903 — Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 290322 when importing or exporting unsaturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons, such as trichloroethylene. For instance, if you're shipping a bulk container of trichloroethylene for industrial cleaning applications, this code is applicable.
This code specifically covers unsaturated chlorinated hydrocarbons, which are different from saturated ones like dichloroethylene (HS-6 290321). If you have a product that contains multiple chlorinated hydrocarbons, ensure you classify it correctly based on its saturation level.
Trichloroethylene is commonly used as a solvent in degreasing and cleaning processes. If your product is a blend or contains other halogenated compounds, you might need to look into HS-6 codes like 290321 or 290324 for proper classification.
When dealing with HS-6 290322, be aware of the specific regulations and potential restrictions on the import or export of trichloroethylene due to environmental concerns. Always check for updated compliance requirements.
