HS-6 · Subheading
290389
Halogenated derivatives of cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic hydrocarbons; n.e.c. in item no. 2903.8
Heading 2903 — Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 290389 when importing or exporting halogenated derivatives of cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic hydrocarbons that aren't classified elsewhere. An example would be a shipment of a specific chlorinated cyclohexane used in industrial applications.
This code is distinct from HS-6 290390, which covers halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons. If your product is a halogenated derivative of benzene or naphthalene, you should look at that code instead.
The 290389 line includes various halogenated compounds that are not specifically listed in other subcategories. These can be used in solvents, chemical intermediates, or as additives in different formulations.
When determining if this code applies, consider the chemical structure and intended use of your product. If it falls under cyclanic or cyclenic hydrocarbons but is not explicitly classified elsewhere, 290389 is likely the right choice.
