HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 2916.16 – Acids; unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic, cyclic monocarboxylic, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, binapacryl (ISO)
HS code 2916.16 is the 6-digit subheading for acids, unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic, cyclic monocarboxylic, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids, their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, binapacryl (ISO). It is used for binapacryl technical and binapacryl formulations (historical).
What HS 2916.16 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
