HS Code for Barbituric acid

Barbituric acid is classified under Harmonized System (HS) code 293352. This classification falls within Chapter 29, which covers "Organic chemicals." Specifically, heading 2933 is dedicated to "Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only." Barbituric acid is a heterocyclic compound containing a pyrimidine ring in its structure. Subheading 293352 explicitly identifies "Malonylurea (barbituric acid) and its salts." This precise description directly matches the chemical identity of barbituric acid, which is also known as malonylurea. The presence of the pyrimidine ring and its specific naming within the HS nomenclature ensures its accurate classification under this code, distinguishing it from other organic chemicals.

Products Included

• Malonylurea (Barbituric acid)
• Sodium barbiturate
• Potassium barbiturate
• Other salts of barbituric acid

Common Misclassification

Barbituric acid can sometimes be confused with other organic compounds. For instance, HS 293359 covers "Other compounds containing a pyrimidine ring (whether or not hydrogenated) or piperazine ring in the structure." However, 293352 is a more specific classification for barbituric acid and its salts, taking precedence over the general "other" category. Another potential misclassification might involve HS 2924, which covers "Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid." While barbituric acid contains amide groups, its primary classification is determined by its heterocyclic ring structure, which places it firmly under 2933.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Barbituric acid?

The HS code for Barbituric acid is 293352.

Are derivatives of barbituric acid also classified under 293352?

HS 293352 specifically includes barbituric acid (malonylurea) and its salts. Other derivatives of barbituric acid, which are not salts, would require individual assessment based on their specific chemical structure and functional groups, and might be classified under other subheadings within 2933 or elsewhere in Chapter 29, depending on their exact chemical composition.
