Epoxides, epoxyalcohols, epoxyphenols and epoxyethers; with a three-membered ring and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, n.e.c. in heading no. 2910
Heading 2910 — Epoxides, epoxyalcohols, epoxyphenols and epoxyethers; with a three-membered ring and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 291090 when importing or exporting epoxides, epoxyalcohols, and their derivatives that don't fit neatly into other categories. For example, if you're shipping a specialized epoxy resin used in coatings, this code is likely applicable.
This code covers products like epoxides and their halogenated or sulphonated derivatives that aren't specified elsewhere in heading 2910. If you have a product that is an epoxy ether but lacks specific classification, 291090 is the right choice.
In contrast, HS-6 291011 covers specific epoxides like ethylene oxide, which has distinct uses and properties. If your product is a known epoxide with a defined application, check if it falls under that specific code instead.
When determining if HS-6 291090 applies, consider the product's chemical structure and intended use. If it's a less common derivative or a blend of epoxides, this code may be your best option.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of products are classified under HS-6 291090?
- HS-6 291090 covers various epoxides, epoxyalcohols, epoxyphenols, and epoxyethers that are not specified elsewhere, including halogenated and sulphonated derivatives.
- How do I know if my product qualifies for HS-6 291090?
- Evaluate your product's chemical structure and intended use. If it’s an epoxide or derivative that doesn't fit into a more specific category, it likely qualifies.
- Can I use HS-6 291090 for custom epoxy formulations?
- Yes, if your custom formulations include epoxides or their derivatives and are not classified under another specific HS code, you can use 291090.
- Are there any restrictions on importing products under HS-6 291090?
- Check with local regulations and import requirements, as some derivatives may have specific restrictions based on their chemical properties.
- What is the difference between HS-6 291090 and HS-6 291011?
- HS-6 291011 is for specific epoxides like ethylene oxide, while 291090 covers a broader range of epoxides and derivatives that aren't specifically classified.
- What documentation do I need for shipping under HS-6 291090?
- You typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a safety data sheet (SDS) detailing the chemical properties of the product.
- How can I find the right HS code for my chemical product?
- Consult the Harmonized System nomenclature and consider the chemical structure and intended use of your product to find the most accurate classification.
- Are there any special considerations for exporting halogenated epoxides?
- Yes, halogenated compounds may be subject to additional regulations or restrictions, so it’s important to verify compliance with both export and import regulations.
