HS-6 · Subheading
290613
Alcohols; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic and derivatives, sterols and inositols
Heading 2906 — Alcohols; cyclic, and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 290613 when importing or exporting cyclanic alcohols like cyclohexanol. For example, a shipment of 1000 liters of cyclohexanol in bulk containers would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers cyclanic alcohols and their derivatives, distinguishing them from other alcohols like aliphatic alcohols classified under HS-6 290611. If your product is a straight-chain alcohol, you would need to look at a different HS code.
Cyclanic alcohols are characterized by their ring structure, which gives them unique properties and applications. For instance, cyclohexanol is commonly used in the production of nylon and as a solvent in various industrial processes.
When classifying products, consider the specific chemical structure and intended use. If you have a product that is a derivative of cyclanic alcohol, such as a halogenated version, it may fall under a different subheading like HS-6 290614.
