HS-6 · Subheading
291219
Aldehydes; acyclic, without other oxygen function, n.e.c. in item no. 2912.1
Heading 2912 — Aldehydes, whether or not with other oxygen function; cyclic polymers of aldehydes; paraformaldehyde
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 291219 when importing or exporting acyclic aldehydes that do not contain other oxygen functions. An example would be a shipment of butyraldehyde in bulk containers for industrial use.
This code is specifically for aldehydes not classified elsewhere, distinguishing it from HS-6 291211, which covers formaldehyde. While formaldehyde is a widely used chemical in various applications, HS-6 291219 focuses on other acyclic aldehydes like propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde.
Aldehydes under this code are typically used in the production of plastics, resins, and other chemical intermediates. They can be found in various forms, such as liquid or concentrated solutions, depending on their intended use.
When considering this code, keep in mind that other related aldehydes may fall under different classifications. For example, HS-6 291220 covers cyclic aldehydes, which are not applicable under this HS-6.

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 291219?
- HS-6 291219 includes acyclic aldehydes without other oxygen functions, such as butyraldehyde and propionaldehyde, used in various industrial applications.
- Can I use HS-6 291219 for formaldehyde?
- No, formaldehyde is classified under **HS-6 291211**. Use **HS-6 291219** for other acyclic aldehydes.
- What is the primary use of butyraldehyde?
- Butyraldehyde is primarily used in the production of plastics, resins, and as a chemical intermediate in various reactions.
- Are there any specific regulations for importing acyclic aldehydes?
- Yes, you should check local regulations and safety data sheets, as some acyclic aldehydes may have specific handling and transport requirements.
- How do I classify a new chemical product?
- To classify a new chemical product, compare its properties and functions with existing HS codes, and consult with a customs broker if needed.
- What documentation do I need for HS-6 291219 imports?
- You typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a safety data sheet, depending on the product and destination.
- Can I export acyclic aldehydes for pharmaceutical use?
- Yes, acyclic aldehydes can be exported for pharmaceutical applications, but ensure compliance with both exporting and importing country regulations.
- What is the difference between acyclic and cyclic aldehydes?
- Acyclic aldehydes are linear or branched structures without rings, while cyclic aldehydes contain a ring structure. They are classified under different HS codes.
