HS-6 · Subheading
291419
Ketones; acyclic, without other oxygen function, n.e.c. in item no. 2914.1
Heading 2914 — Ketones and quinones; whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrostated derivatives
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 291419 when importing or exporting acyclic ketones that do not have any other oxygen functions. An example would be shipments of 4-heptanone, a solvent used in various industrial applications.
This code specifically covers ketones that are acyclic and not classified elsewhere, distinguishing it from HS-6 291420, which includes cyclic ketones. For instance, while 291420 would cover cyclohexanone, 291419 is for straight-chain ketones like 2-pentanone.
When dealing with chemical formulations, ensure that your product strictly falls under the criteria of being acyclic and without additional oxygen functionalities. This can affect both your classification and regulatory compliance.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider its structure and intended use. Products like 3-hexanone, used as a solvent or in chemical synthesis, are clear candidates for this HS-6.
