HS Code 2913Aldehydes; halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of products of heading no. 2912

What HS code 2913 covers

This heading holds aldehyde derivatives. An aldehyde derivative is an aldehyde that has been changed by adding another group of atoms to it.

The change can be a halogen, a sulphonic group, a nitro group or a nitroso group. That is why traders search for halogenated aldehydes, sulphonated aldehydes, nitrated aldehydes or nitrosated aldehydes. Many also say modified aldehydes. Some write HSN code 2913. All of these point to the same heading.

The starting material must be a product from heading 2912.

HS 2913 vs 2912: picking the right heading

The difference between HS 2912 and 2913 is simple. They include aldehydes with or without other oxygen function, cyclic polymers of aldehydes, and paraformaldehyde. Heading 2913 is for what you get after one of the four changes above.

Ask two questions about your product. First, is it an aldehyde from heading 2912? Second, has it been halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated? If both answers are yes, 2913 is the likely heading. If the second answer is no, look at 2912.

Is the code for halogenated aldehydes the same across countries? The first six digits are shared by countries that use the Harmonized System. Duty rates are not shared. They vary by country, so check them for your own market. Always confirm a code before you ship. The HS code classifier can help you check how to classify aldehyde derivatives, and a demo call can help with the rest.

• Plain aldehyde, cyclic polymer or paraformaldehyde: heading 2912
• Halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated version: heading 2913
• Not sure: test the product in the HS code classifier

Where 2913 sits in the Harmonized System

The Harmonized System works like a tree. Each level is more exact than the one above it. Here is the path for this heading.

• Section VI: the group for chemical and allied industries
• Chapter 29: organic chemicals
• Heading 2913: derivatives of the aldehydes in 2912
• Code 291300: the only subheading under this heading

Related headings in Chapter 29

If 2913 is not quite right, a neighbouring heading may fit better. Start with heading 2912 for plain aldehydes. Heading 2914 covers ketones and quinones, which are close cousins of aldehydes.

Other chemical families sit nearby. Heading 2911 covers acetals and hemiacetals. Heading 2905 covers acyclic alcohols. Heading 2915 covers saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids. Open any of them to compare descriptions and codes.

HS 2913 import and export data: buyers and suppliers

Knowing the code is only the first step. The next question is who buys and sells these goods. Customs shipment records help answer it, because they show real importers and exporters of 291300 rather than guesses.
