What types of products fall under HS code 290819?

HS code 290819 covers phenol derivatives that contain only halogen substituents, such as chlorinated and brominated phenols.

Is pentachlorophenol included in this HS code?

No, pentachlorophenol is excluded from HS code 290819 and has its own classification.

What are common uses for halogenated phenols?

Halogenated phenols are often used in pesticides, disinfectants, and as intermediates in chemical synthesis.

How can I ensure my product is classified correctly?

Review the chemical composition of your product and compare it with the definitions in the HS code to determine the correct classification.

Are there any import restrictions for halogenated phenols?

Yes, some countries may have specific regulations or restrictions on the import of halogenated phenols due to environmental concerns.

What documentation is needed for exporting phenol derivatives?

You typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary permits or certificates depending on the destination country's regulations.

Can I use HS code 290819 for all phenolic compounds?

No, HS code 290819 is specific to halogenated phenol derivatives. Other phenolic compounds may require different classifications.

What should I do if my product has both halogen and other substituents?

If your product has both halogen and other substituents, you will need to classify it under the appropriate HS code that reflects its complete chemical structure.

HS-6 290819: Phenol or phenol-alcohol derivatives containing only halogen substituents and their salts; other than pentachlorophenol (ISO)

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 290819 when importing or exporting phenol derivatives that contain halogen substituents, such as chlorinated phenols. For example, a shipment of 1,000 kg of chlorinated phenol used in industrial applications would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to phenol or phenol-alcohol derivatives that have only halogen substituents, excluding compounds like pentachlorophenol. If you're dealing with phenol derivatives that include other types of functional groups, you may need to look at different HS codes.

For instance, HS-6 290820 covers phenol derivatives with sulfonated or nitrated groups, which are distinct from the halogenated compounds classified under HS-6 290819. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate classification and compliance.

When considering your products, check if they are solely halogenated derivatives. If they contain other substituents, you may need to use a different classification. This ensures that your customs declarations are correct and minimizes delays.
