HS-6 · Subheading
293299
Heterocyclic compounds; with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, no lactones or unfused furan rings in the structure, other than isosafrole, 1-(1,3-benzodiaxol-5-yl) propan-2-one, piperonal, safrole, tetrahydrocannabinols (all isomers), carbofuran (ISO)
Heading 2932 — Heterocyclic compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 293299 when importing or exporting heterocyclic compounds that contain only oxygen as a hetero-atom, excluding lactones and certain specified compounds. An example would be a shipment of a specific organic chemical used in pharmaceuticals.
This code is distinct from HS-6 293298, which includes heterocyclic compounds with similar characteristics but may contain different structural features or additional elements. For instance, if you are dealing with a compound that has a fused furan ring, you would not use this code.
The HS-6 293299 line specifically covers various heterocyclic organic chemicals that do not include lactones or unfused furan rings. These compounds are often used in the production of specialty chemicals or as intermediates in organic synthesis.
When classifying your product, consider whether it falls under the exclusions listed, such as isosafrole or tetrahydrocannabinols. If your product is a pure heterocyclic compound with oxygen and meets the criteria, this code is appropriate.
