About HS Code 291050
This HS code covers endrin, another highly toxic organochlorine insecticide, similar to dieldrin, which has been largely banned worldwide due to its extreme persistence and adverse environmental and health impacts. Its trade is extremely limited, primarily to small quantities for analytical reference standards, scientific research, or for controlled destruction in accordance with international agreements such as the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Commercial trade for its original pesticidal applications is virtually non-existent. Any international movement of endrin is subject to strict regulatory oversight and permits, reflecting its classification as a hazardous substance requiring careful management and disposal.
Products Under This Code
Endrin analytical standard, environmental monitoring samples, certified reference materials
Real World Examples
Sigma-Aldrich Endrin Standard, AccuStandard Endrin, Dr. Ehrenstorfer Endrin
Common Misclassification
Often confused with other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) or organochlorine pesticides (e.g., 2903.89), but its specific chemical structure differentiates it.
Products Classified Under 2910.50
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Global trade is severely restricted, with any movement typically for scientific research or environmentally sound disposal.
