About HS Code 290819
This 'other' HS code covers a variety of phenol or phenol-alcohol derivatives containing only halogen substituents and their salts, excluding pentachlorophenol. These compounds are vital intermediates in the synthesis of a wide range of products, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and flame retardants. The specific halogen (chlorine, bromine, fluorine) and its position on the phenol ring impart unique properties, making these derivatives valuable in specialized chemical processes. International trade involves chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and specialty chemical distributors. Regulatory considerations vary depending on the specific halogenated derivative, with some facing stricter controls due to environmental or health concerns, necessitating careful documentation and compliance.
Products Under This Code
Chlorophenols (e.g., 2,4-dichlorophenol), Bromophenols, Fluorophenols, Iodophenols, Halogenated cresols, Halogenated xylenols, Dichlorophenols
Real World Examples
Lanxess (chlorophenols), BASF (intermediates), Sigma-Aldrich (specialty halogenated phenols), TCI Chemicals (research chemicals)
Common Misclassification
This 'other' category can be confused with specific halogenated phenols like pentachlorophenol (290811) or even non-halogenated phenols (2907 series) if the chemical description is not precise, impacting regulatory compliance and duties.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
China, India, and European countries are significant producers and traders of these halogenated phenol derivatives for various industrial applications.
