HS Code 2906.19 – Alcohols; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic and derivatives, n.e.c. in item no. 2906.1
HS code 2906.19 is the 6-digit subheading for alcohols, cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic and derivatives, n.e.c. in item no. 2906.1. It is used for isopulegol, borneol, fenchyl alcohol, alpha-terpineol and cedrol.
What HS 2906.19 covers
This 'not elsewhere specified' (n.e.c.) HS code captures a diverse range of cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic alcohols and their derivatives that are not specifically enumerated in other 2906.1 subheadings. These compounds are often specialized intermediates used in the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and flavors, or for research purposes. Trade in this category is typically characterized by smaller volumes but higher value, involving niche chemical suppliers, R&D firms, and specialized manufacturers. Understanding the precise chemical structure and intended application is paramount, as this category acts as a catch-all for many unique cyclic alcohol compounds. Quality control and specific isomer identification are crucial.

Codes often confused with 2906.19
Common mistake. Often confused with 2906.11 (menthol) or 2906.12 (cyclohexanol) if the specific chemical structure is not precisely identified, or 2905.19 (other acyclic alcohols) if the cyclic nature is overlooked.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 290619, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 290619 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 29% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 15% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
