291429

Ketones; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic, without other oxygen function, other than cyclohexanone, methylcyclohexanones, ionones, and methylionones

Heading 2914Ketones 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 291429 when importing or exporting ketones like cyclanic or cyclenic compounds without other oxygen functions. For example, if you're shipping a batch of 2-heptanone, this is the code to use.

This code specifically covers ketones that do not include cyclohexanone or its derivatives, distinguishing it from HS-6 291430, which includes those specific compounds. If your product is a simple ketone without additional functional groups, 291429 is the right choice.

When considering related products, note that HS-6 291421 addresses methylcyclohexanones, which have a different structure and functional characteristics. Ensure you classify your products correctly to avoid customs issues.

Ketones under this code are often used in solvents, fragrances, or chemical intermediates. Understanding the specific chemical structure and intended use can help you determine the correct classification.
