Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 294200 when importing or exporting organic compounds that don't fit into more specific categories. For example, this code applies to specialty organic chemicals used in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.

This code is part of Chapter 29, which deals with organic chemicals. While other codes in this chapter cover specific types of organic compounds, HS-6 294200 is for those that are not elsewhere classified, meaning they don't have a dedicated code.

HS-6 294200 includes a variety of organic compounds that may be used in industrial applications, research, or as intermediates in chemical production. It's important to differentiate this from similar codes that might cover more specific compounds, such as those listed under HS-6 2941 for amines.

When considering HS-6 294200, think about the end use of your product. If you have a chemical that serves as a building block for other organic materials but doesn't have a specific classification, this is likely the right code.
