HS-6 · Subheading

291818

Acids; carboxylic acids, (with alcohol function but without other oxygen function), chlorobenzilate (ISO)

Heading 2918Acids; carboxylic acid with additional oxygen function and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives

Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 291818 when importing or exporting carboxylic acids that contain an alcohol function but lack other oxygen functions. An example would be a shipment of chlorobenzilate, which is used in agricultural applications.

This code specifically targets carboxylic acids with a unique structure, distinguishing them from other acids in the same heading, such as those with additional functional groups. For instance, HS-6 291816 covers acids with additional oxygen functions.

When classifying under this HS-6, be mindful of the chemical structure and intended use. Products like chlorobenzilate may be used as pesticides, whereas other acids in this heading might serve different industrial purposes.

If you're dealing with carboxylic acids that do not fit the criteria for this specific HS-6, consider looking into HS-6 291817, which covers similar compounds but with different functional characteristics.
