Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 290719 when importing or exporting monophenols not elsewhere classified. For example, if you're shipping a chemical like 4-tert-butylphenol, this is the right code.

This code specifically covers monophenols that don't fit into other defined categories, such as phenol itself or cresols. If you're dealing with specialty chemicals, understanding this distinction is crucial.

In contrast, HS-6 290711 covers phenol, while HS-6 290712 includes cresols. If your product is a specific type of monophenol, ensure you select the correct code to avoid customs issues.

Monophenols are often used in the production of resins, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Proper classification helps in determining duties and compliance with regulations.
