About HS Code 291300
This HS code covers a specialized category of aldehydes that have undergone further chemical modification through halogenation, sulfonation, nitration, or nitrosation, derived from the compounds classified under heading 2912. These derivatives are typically high-value, niche chemicals used as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and other advanced materials. Importers are often specialized chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical research and development companies, and fine chemical producers who require these specific functionalized aldehydes for complex synthesis pathways. Exporters are generally fine chemical companies or R&D-focused chemical producers with advanced synthesis capabilities. Trade in these derivatives is characterized by stringent purity requirements, often custom synthesis, and adherence to intellectual property rights. Their demand is driven by innovation in new drug discovery, advanced material science, and the development of more effective agrochemicals.
Products Under This Code
Chloral hydrate, Bromal, Nitrobenzaldehyde, Sulfobenzaldehyde, Trichloroacetaldehyde, 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde, 2-Chlorobenzaldehyde
Real World Examples
Sigma-Aldrich Chloral Hydrate, TCI Chemicals 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde, Merck KGaA 2-Chlorobenzaldehyde, Alfa Aesar Trichloroacetaldehyde
Common Misclassification
This code can be confused with the unmodified aldehydes of heading 2912 if the specific halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivative is not clearly identified. It might also be mistaken for other halogenated or nitrated organic compounds (Chapter 29) if the aldehyde function is overlooked.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, the United States, China, and Switzerland are key countries in the trade of these specialized aldehyde derivatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HS code 291300?
HS code 291300 covers: Aldehydes; halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of products of heading no. 2912.
