HS code for 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-one: 2932.92
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), 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-one.
Classification of 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-one under HS 2932.92
1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-one is classified under HS code 2932.92 due to its precise chemical structure as a heterocyclic compound containing only oxygen as the heteroatom. Chapter 29 of the Harmonized System specifically covers organic chemicals, and heading 2932 is dedicated to heterocyclic compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only. The subheading 2932.92 explicitly identifies "1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-one," leaving no ambiguity for its classification. This specific designation ensures accurate customs declaration and facilitates international trade by clearly defining the product's chemical identity within the global tariff system, distinguishing it from other oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds or other organic chemicals.

Codes often confused with 2932.92
Common mistake. Common misclassifications for 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)propan-2-one often involve other organic compounds with similar functional groups but different core structures. For instance, it might be confused with other ketones that lack the heterocyclic structure, which would typically fall under HS code 2914 (Ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function). Additionally, other heterocyclic compounds with different heteroatoms, such as nitrogen (HS code 2933) or sulfur (HS code 2934), could be mistakenly considered. Compounds not specifically enumerated under 2932.92 but still falling under oxygen heterocyclic compounds would be classified under 2932.99, which covers "other" oxygen heterocyclic compounds.

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).
