HS-6 · Subheading
293159
Halogenated organo-phosphorous derivatives; other halogenated organo-phosphorous derivatives, n.e.c. in item no. 2931.5
Heading 2931 — Other organo-inorganic compounds
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 293159 when importing or exporting halogenated organo-phosphorous derivatives that don't fit into more specific categories. For example, a shipment of a flame retardant chemical used in plastics might fall under this code.
This code is part of the 29 chapter, which deals with organic chemicals. It specifically addresses other organo-inorganic compounds, allowing for a range of applications in various chemical processes.
Under the 2931 heading, this HS-6 narrows down to halogenated organo-phosphorous derivatives. It distinguishes between those that are specifically listed and those that are not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.).
If you are considering a product like a pesticide or a flame retardant, check if it has halogenated organo-phosphorous compounds. For example, a product that includes tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate would be classified here, while a non-halogenated phosphorous compound would not.
