CHAPTER

29Organic chemicals

In plain English

This heading covers cyclic hydrocarbons, which are organic chemicals with ring-shaped molecular structures. The items are separated into specific categories based on their chemical identity, such as cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, and various forms of xylene. Other distinct groups include styrene, ethylbenzene, cumene, and a final category for cyclic hydrocarbons not listed elsewhere in this section.

Chapter 29 classification notes

Key chapter for pharmaceutical intermediates, narcotic and psychotropic substances (controlled under the 1961 and 1971 UN Conventions), and list-1 chemicals under the 1988 Convention (drug-precursor control). Import requires prior authorisation from the national competent authority.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Finished medicaments: Chapter 30 (3004). Agricultural pesticides: Chapter 38 (3808) when formulated; raw active ingredients may be Chapter 29. Essential oils: Chapter 33 when perfumery-grade.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
