Heading 2938 — Glycosides, natural or reproduced by synthesis, and their salts, ethers, esters and other derivatives
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 293890 when importing or exporting glycosides that are not rutoside (rutin) or its derivatives. For instance, this code applies to shipments of synthetic or natural glycosides like salicin or arbutin, which are often used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
This code specifically covers glycosides and their derivatives, excluding rutoside and its variants. If you're dealing with rutoside or its derivatives, you would look at a different subheading under HS-6 293891 instead.
When classifying products under this line, consider the specific glycoside and its application. For example, arbutin is commonly used in skin-lightening products, while salicin may be found in pain relief formulations.
Understanding the precise classification can help avoid delays at customs. Ensure your product descriptions clearly state the glycoside type and its intended use to facilitate smoother processing.
