About HS Code 290899
This 'other' HS code covers a wide array of sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated phenol and phenol-alcohol derivatives, excluding the specifically listed dinoseb and DNOC. These compounds serve as crucial intermediates in the production of dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals. Their diverse chemical structures allow for a broad range of applications, from colorants in textiles to active ingredients in medicines. International trade involves chemical manufacturers, dye producers, and pharmaceutical companies, often dealing with high-value, low-volume specialty chemicals. Regulatory compliance for these derivatives can vary significantly based on their specific chemical properties and intended applications, requiring detailed documentation for accurate classification and customs clearance.
Products Under This Code
Nitrophenols (e.g., 4-nitrophenol), Dinitrophenols, Phenolsulfonic acid, Nitrosophenols, Sulfonated cresols, Sulfonated xylenols, Picric acid
Real World Examples
BASF (dye intermediates), Lanxess (specialty chemicals), Sigma-Aldrich (research chemicals), TCI Chemicals (fine chemicals)
Common Misclassification
This broad 'other' category is susceptible to misclassification with the specific restricted compounds (290891, 290892) or even non-derivatized phenols (2907 series) if the chemical identity is not clearly stated, leading to potential regulatory and duty issues.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
China, India, and European countries are major producers and consumers of these diverse sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated phenol derivatives.
