About HS Code 293219
This 'not elsewhere specified' (NES) category encompasses a diverse array of furan-containing heterocyclic compounds where oxygen is the sole heteroatom, excluding those specifically classified under 2932.11, 2932.12, 2932.13, and 2932.14. It includes various furan derivatives that serve as chemical intermediates, flavor and fragrance compounds, or specialty chemicals in niche applications. Importers and exporters are typically specialized chemical companies, research institutions, and manufacturers in the fine chemicals, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical sectors. The trade in these compounds is often characterized by smaller volumes but higher value, driven by specific industrial requirements and ongoing research and development. Key considerations include stringent purity requirements, complex synthesis routes, and the wide array of end-uses that prevent more specific classification.
Products Under This Code
Furan, 2-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran, furan-2-carboxylic acid, furyl ketones, furan derivatives for flavors, furan derivatives for fragrances, specialty furan compounds
Real World Examples
Sigma-Aldrich Furan, TCI Chemicals 2-Methylfuran, Alfa Aesar Furan-2-carboxylic acid, Givaudan flavor intermediates
Common Misclassification
As a residual category, misclassification often occurs when a specific furan derivative that should be classified under 2932.11, 2932.12, 2932.13, or 2932.14 is incorrectly placed here.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Trade is global but often involves specialized chemical companies in countries with strong chemical industries like Germany, USA, China, and India.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HS code 293219?
HS code 293219 covers: Heterocyclic compounds; with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, n.e.c. in item no. 2932.1. This 'not elsewhere specified' (NES) category encompasses a diverse array of furan-containing heterocyclic compounds where oxygen is the sole heteroatom, excluding those specifically classified under 2932.11, 2932.12, 2932.13, and 2932.14.
