About HS Code 291616

This specific HS code is dedicated to Binapacryl, an organic chemical compound historically used as an acaricide and fungicide in agriculture. While its use has been largely phased out or restricted in many regions due to environmental and health concerns, it remains relevant for trade in specific contexts, such as for existing stocks, research purposes, or in countries where its use is still permitted. Importers might include specialized chemical distributors or research institutions, while exporters would be chemical manufacturers with legacy production or those serving niche markets. The trade volume for Binapacryl is significantly lower compared to other active ingredients, and transactions are heavily scrutinized under international conventions like the Rotterdam Convention, which governs the trade of hazardous chemicals.

Products Under This Code

Binapacryl technical, Binapacryl formulations (historical)

Real World Examples

Historically produced by Hoechst, but current trade is minimal and often unbranded

Common Misclassification

This code is very specific to Binapacryl. It could be confused with other pesticides or fungicides under chapter 38, especially 3808 (insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides), but 291616 specifically covers the pure chemical compound Binapacryl.

Industry

This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.

Trade Overview

Due to restrictions, trade is highly limited; historically, it was produced in Europe and exported globally, but current trade is minimal and often for specific, regulated purposes.
