HS-6 · Subheading
290920
Ethers; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Heading 2909 — Ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, acetal and hemiacetal peroxides, ketone peroxides (chemically defined or not), and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 290920 when importing or exporting ethers, specifically cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic types. For example, if you're shipping cyclohexyl methyl ether, this is the code to use.
This code is distinct from HS-6 290911, which covers simple ethers like dimethyl ether. If your product has a more complex structure or specific cyclanic characteristics, 290920 is the right choice.
The 290920 line includes various ethers that may have undergone halogenation, sulphonation, or nitration. Products like halogenated cyclohexyl ethers would fall under this classification.
Understanding the nuances between this HS-6 and others in the same heading can help avoid misclassification. For instance, 290919 captures other ether types not specified here.
