292029
Esters; phosphite esters and their salts; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, n.e.c. in heading no. 2920
Heading 2920 — Esters of other inorganic acids of non-metals (other than of hydrogen halides) and their salts, their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 292029 when importing or exporting phosphite esters and their derivatives, such as triethyl phosphite. These compounds are often used in the production of flame retardants and plasticizers.
This code specifically applies to esters of phosphorous acid, which differ from other esters like those classified under HS-6 292021 that cover phosphoric acid esters. Understanding these distinctions helps ensure proper classification and compliance.
Phosphite esters can be found in various forms, including liquid or solid, and may be packaged in containers ranging from small bottles to large drums. Their end uses often include applications in agriculture and chemical manufacturing.
When considering this HS-6, be aware of similar products under HS-6 292021, which includes phosphoric acid esters. These may have different regulatory requirements and applications, so careful classification is crucial.
