HS Code 2930Organo-sulphur compounds

What products are classified under HS code 2930?

Some writers spell it organosulphur compounds. These are chemicals built on carbon that also contain sulphur. The heading sits inside Chapter 29, the chapter for organic chemicals. You can see how it fits among its neighbours on the Chapter 29 organic chemicals page.

Some traders write the same four digits as HSN code 2930. The number is the same. The first four digits name the heading. The last two digits pick one of the subheadings below it.

Most of the subheadings name a specific chemical or a small group of chemicals. That is why you need the exact name of your product before you choose a code.

How to choose the right 2930 subheading

Start with the exact chemical name on the product sheet or invoice. Match it to a named subheading first. Use the residual code only when no named subheading fits. Here is what each subheading covers in plain words.

• 293010: one named compound, 2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethanethiol.
• 293020: thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates.
• 293040: methionine. This is the code to check if you trade methionine.
• 293060: the official wording names the same compound as 293010. The two descriptions look alike, so read the tariff text of your own market and the exact name on your paperwork before you pick one.
• 293070: thiodiglycol, also written bis(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfide.
• 293080: three named compounds, aldicarb, captafol and methamidophos.
• 293090: the catch-all for sulphur compounds not named elsewhere in the heading. The short form is n.e.c., which means not elsewhere classified.

Difference between HS 2930 and 2931, and other nearby headings

If your compound is organo-inorganic but is not an organo-sulphur compound, 2931 is the heading to check next. Heading 2930 is the better fit when sulphur is what defines the product.

Sulphonamides are a special case. They contain sulphur, but they have their own heading, 2935. Do not place them under 2930 just because of the sulphur.

Two other headings act as safety nets. Heading 2929 holds nitrogen-function compounds not named elsewhere in the chapter. Heading 2942 holds other organic compounds not named elsewhere in the chapter. Check the named headings first. Use these two only after you have ruled out the specific ones.

If you are still unsure, the HS code classifier can help you narrow down the choice.
