HS Code 2932.95 – Heterocyclic compounds; with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, (other than lactones or compounds containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure), tetrahydrocannabinols (all isomers)

HS code 2932.95 is the 6-digit subheading for heterocyclic compounds, with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, (other than lactones or compounds containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure), tetrahydrocannabinols (all isomers). It is used for THC isolates, dronabinol, nabilone, synthetic THC isomers and cannabis extracts (high THC content).

What HS 2932.95 covers

This HS code specifically covers Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) and all its isomers, which are heterocyclic compounds containing only oxygen hetero-atoms, excluding lactones and unfused furan rings. THC is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis and is subject to strict international and national controls due to its classification as a controlled substance in most jurisdictions. Trade in these compounds is highly regulated, primarily involving licensed pharmaceutical companies for medical research, drug development, or the production of approved cannabinoid-based medicines. Research institutions also import and export small quantities for scientific study. Key things to know include the necessity for special permits, adherence to drug enforcement agency regulations, and the varying legal status across different countries, which significantly impacts trade flows and compliance requirements.

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).
