HS-6 · Subheading
290369
Brominated or iodinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons; n.e.c. in item no. 2903.6
Heading 2903 — Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 290369 when importing or exporting brominated or iodinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons that are not specifically categorized elsewhere. For example, this code applies to products like brominated styrene used in specialty plastics.
This code is part of the broader 2903 heading, which includes various halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons. If you're dealing with chlorinated compounds, you would use a different HS code under the same heading.
The 290369 line specifically covers compounds that are brominated or iodinated but do not fit neatly into other specified categories. This can include complex mixtures or specific derivatives used in industrial applications.
When classifying your products, ensure they are not more appropriately classified under 290371 or 290372, which cover specific brominated or iodinated compounds with defined structures.
