HS Code for Captafol

Captafol is classified under HS code 2930.80. This code is situated within Chapter 29, which covers organic chemicals. Heading 2930 is dedicated to organo-sulphur compounds. Captafol is a specific fungicide that is chemically defined as an organo-sulphur compound. The Harmonized System provides specific subheadings for certain high-profile chemicals, and 2930.80 explicitly names Captafol (ISO) along with aldicarb and methamidophos. This classification is for the chemically pure compound or separate chemically defined compounds. The inclusion of the (ISO) designation indicates that the code follows international standards for pesticide nomenclature. Because Captafol is a regulated substance in many jurisdictions due to environmental and health concerns, precise classification under 2930.80 is critical for monitoring and compliance with international treaties like the Rotterdam Convention. This code ensures that the chemical is identified correctly regardless of its commercial name.

Common Misclassification

Captafol is often misclassified under HS code 3808.92, which covers fungicides put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations. The distinction is that Chapter 29 (2930.80) is for the separate chemically defined compound, while Chapter 38 is for mixtures or finished products. Importers also occasionally confuse it with other organo-sulphur compounds in 2930.90 if they do not realize Captafol has its own specific subheading.
