About HS Code 292011
This specific HS code is dedicated to parathion (ISO) and parathion-methyl (ISO), which are highly toxic organophosphate insecticides. Their trade is severely regulated and restricted globally due to significant environmental and health risks. Historically, these compounds were widely used in agriculture, but their application has drastically declined. Today, trade is minimal and limited to very specific regions or highly controlled applications, often involving specialized chemical manufacturers as exporters and agricultural sectors in countries with less stringent regulations as importers. The stringent international conventions governing persistent organic pollutants have largely curtailed their global movement, making this a niche and declining trade category.
Products Under This Code
Parathion, methyl-parathion, O,O-diethyl O-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate, O,O-dimethyl O-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate, organophosphate insecticide
Real World Examples
Bayer CropScience (historically produced), Syngenta (historically produced), specific generic agrochemical manufacturers
Common Misclassification
Other thiophosphoric esters fall under 292019. Misclassification could occur if other organophosphate insecticides are incorrectly grouped here instead of their specific codes or 292019.
Products Classified Under 2920.11
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Due to severe restrictions, major trade is minimal, but some developing countries might still import for specific agricultural uses, with China being a potential producer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HS code 292011?
HS code 292011 covers: Esters; thiophosphoric esters (phosphorothioates) and their salts, their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, parathion (ISO) and parathion-methyl (ISO) (methyl-parathion). This specific HS code is dedicated to parathion (ISO) and parathion-methyl (ISO), which are highly toxic organophosphate insecticides.

What are common misclassifications for HS code 292011?
Other thiophosphoric esters fall under 292019. Misclassification could occur if other organophosphate insecticides are incorrectly grouped here instead of their specific codes or 292019.
How is HS code 292011 structured?
HS code 292011 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (29) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (20) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (11) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
