About HS Code 290219
This category encompasses a variety of cyclic hydrocarbons, including other saturated cyclanes (like methylcyclohexane), unsaturated cyclenes (like cyclohexene), and cycloterpenes (like limonene), excluding the specifically classified cyclohexane. These compounds find diverse applications as solvents, chemical intermediates, and in the fragrance and flavor industries. For instance, cyclohexene is a precursor for certain polymers and fine chemicals, while terpenes are widely used in cosmetics and food. International trade involves a mix of large chemical companies and specialized producers. Exporters often come from countries with advanced chemical synthesis capabilities, such as Germany, the United States, and Japan. Importers are typically industrial nations with diverse manufacturing sectors, including China, India, and various European countries. Transport methods vary based on the specific compound's properties, from bulk liquids to smaller packaged quantities. Market dynamics are often driven by specific end-use applications rather than broad commodity trends.
Products Under This Code
Methylcyclohexane, Cyclohexene, Limonene, Pinene, Terpinolene, Cyclopentane, Cyclooctane
Real World Examples
D-Limonene (from citrus), Alpha-Pinene (from pine trees), Cyclopentane (blowing agent), Methylcyclohexane (solvent), BASF (producer of various cyclanes/cyclenes)
Common Misclassification
This is a residual category for cyclic hydrocarbons, so misclassification can occur if a compound should have been classified as 290211 (cyclohexane) or 290220 (benzene). Careful identification of the specific cyclic structure and saturation level is essential.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, the United States, and Japan are leading exporters, with China, India, and France being top importers.
