About HS Code 290529
This category encompasses acyclic, unsaturated monohydric alcohols that are not terpene alcohols. These compounds feature at least one double or triple bond in their carbon chain, making them highly reactive and valuable as chemical intermediates. Examples include allyl alcohol and propargyl alcohol, which are used in the synthesis of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and other specialty chemicals. Their unsaturation allows for further chemical modification, such as polymerization or addition reactions, to introduce specific functionalities into target molecules. Chemical manufacturers, polymer producers, and companies involved in fine chemical synthesis are the primary importers and exporters. Key considerations include their reactivity, potential for polymerization, and their role in creating advanced materials and complex organic compounds.
Products Under This Code
Allyl alcohol, propargyl alcohol, butenols, hexenols, unsaturated fatty alcohols (non-terpene), vinyl alcohol (polymerized)
Real World Examples
BASF Allyl Alcohol, Dow Chemical (various unsaturated alcohols), specialty chemical suppliers, Arkema (for derivatives)
Common Misclassification
Often confused with acyclic terpene alcohols (290522) if the terpene origin is not explicitly excluded, or with saturated alcohols (29051x) if the unsaturation is overlooked.
EU Regulatory Requirements
This product category is subject to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Importers must provide due diligence statements proving the product was not produced on deforested land after December 31, 2020.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Trade is concentrated among industrial chemical producers and consumers in regions like North America, Europe, and East Asia, where advanced chemical manufacturing thrives.
