HS-6 · Subheading
291891
Acids; carboxylic acids, with additional oxygen function (not alcohol, phenol, aldehyde or ketone) and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; 2,4,5-T (ISO) (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid), its salts and esters
Heading 2918 — Acids; 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 291891 when importing or exporting 2,4,5-T (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid), a herbicide commonly used in agriculture. For example, shipments may include 2,4,5-T in bulk containers or packaged for retail sale.
This code specifically covers carboxylic acids with additional oxygen functions, including 2,4,5-T and its derivatives. It differs from HS-6 291890, which includes similar acids without the specific oxygen functionalities.
When classifying products, note that 2,4,5-T can appear as a technical grade herbicide or as formulations mixed with other chemicals. Ensure you understand the specific product composition to apply the correct HS code.
If you're dealing with salts or esters of 2,4,5-T, they also fall under this code, but different formulations may require careful classification to avoid misclassification.
