About HS Code 291829

This 'basket' HS code covers a diverse range of derivatives of carboxylic acids with a phenol function, specifically their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and other derivatives, not elsewhere specified within the 2918.2 sub-heading. These compounds are typically specialized intermediates crucial for advanced organic synthesis, finding applications in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries. Importers and exporters include fine chemical manufacturers, research and development laboratories, and companies requiring custom synthesis for complex molecules. Key aspects for trade involve the often high purity required for these intermediates, their specific reactivity in chemical reactions, and the niche, high-value applications they serve in creating sophisticated chemical products. This code captures a variety of specialized, less common derivatives.

Products Under This Code

Salicylic anhydride, Salicyloyl chloride, Chlorosalicylic acid derivatives, Dihydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, Phenoxyacetic acid derivatives (with phenol function)

Real World Examples

TCI Chemicals (reagents), Alfa Aesar (research chemicals), specific custom synthesis providers

Common Misclassification

As a broad 'other' category, misclassification with other specific phenolic carboxylic acids (e.g., 2918.21) or even general organic chemicals in Chapter 29 is common if the exact chemical structure and derivative type are not precisely identified.

Industry

This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.

Trade Overview

Countries with advanced chemical industries, such as Germany, the USA, and China, are significant in the production and trade of these specialized derivatives.
