About HS Code 292030
This HS code encompasses esters derived from inorganic acids of non-metals, along with their salts and various halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives. A notable example included is endosulfan, a now largely restricted pesticide. In international trade, these chemicals are primarily handled by specialty chemical manufacturers, agricultural chemical producers, and pharmaceutical intermediate suppliers. They are crucial as active ingredients in pesticides, flame retardants, or as key intermediates in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds. Due to the nature of these chemicals, often involving toxicity or environmental concerns, trade is heavily influenced by international regulations, environmental protection laws, and import/export restrictions, making compliance a critical factor for all parties involved in their global movement.
Products Under This Code
Endosulfan, Dimethyl sulfate, Diethyl sulfate, Trimethyl phosphate, Triethyl phosphate, Methyl chlorosulphonate, Ethyl chlorosulphonate
Real World Examples
Bayer CropScience (historical Endosulfan production), BASF (various specialty esters), Lanxess (flame retardant esters)
Common Misclassification
This code can be confused with 292090 (other esters) if the specific inorganic acid ester is not explicitly listed, or with 3808 (pesticides) if the product is formulated as a finished pesticide rather than a raw chemical.
Products Classified Under 2920.30
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Major importers and exporters include chemical manufacturing hubs like Germany, China, the USA, and India, driven by industrial and agricultural demand.

How is HS code 292030 structured?
HS code 292030 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 (30) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
