HS-6 · Subheading
293190
Organo-inorganic compounds; other than tetramethyl lead, tetraethyl lead, tributyltin compounds, and other organo-phosphorous derivatives
Heading 2931 — Other organo-inorganic compounds
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 293190 when importing or exporting organo-inorganic compounds that do not fall under specific exclusions like tetramethyl lead or tributyltin compounds. For example, if you're shipping a chemical used in pharmaceuticals that fits this category, this is the correct code.
This code is part of Chapter 29, which covers organic chemicals, and narrows down to Heading 2931, focusing on other organo-inorganic compounds. Unlike HS-6 293110, which covers specific organo-inorganic compounds like lead derivatives, this line includes a broader range of substances.
The HS-6 293190 line encompasses various organo-inorganic compounds that are not specifically classified elsewhere. These may include specialty chemicals used in industrial applications, such as catalysts or intermediates in chemical synthesis.
When deciding between HS-6 293190 and nearby codes, consider the specific chemical composition and intended use. For instance, if your product contains organo-phosphorous derivatives, you would need to look at a different classification.
