291450
Ketone-phenols and ketones with other oxygen function
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 291450 when importing or exporting ketone-phenols, such as 4-tert-butylphenol, which is often used in resin production. This code also applies to ketones with additional oxygen functions.
This line is distinct from HS-6 291460, which covers other types of ketones not classified as phenols. If your product contains a phenolic structure, HS-6 291450 is likely the correct choice.
Ketone-phenols are characterized by a ketone group attached to a phenolic compound. They can be found in various industrial applications, including as intermediates in chemical synthesis and as additives in plastics.
When determining the correct HS code, consider the specific chemical structure and intended use of the product. This can help clarify whether it fits under HS-6 291450 or another related code.
