HS-6 · Subheading
290349
Saturated fluorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons; n.e.c. in item no 2903.4
Heading 2903 — Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 290349 when importing or exporting saturated fluorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons. An example would be a shipment of fluorinated solvents used in industrial cleaning applications.
This code specifically applies to fluorinated compounds that are not classified elsewhere in HS-4 2903. For instance, if you have a product like a fluorinated refrigerant that doesn't fit the more specific categories, this is the right code.
In contrast, HS-6 290350 covers saturated chlorinated derivatives, which are distinct from the fluorinated compounds under HS-6 290349. If your product contains chlorine instead of fluorine, you should refer to that code instead.
Understanding the precise classification helps in avoiding customs issues and ensures compliance with regulations. Make sure to review the properties and intended use of your chemical to determine the correct HS code.
