HS Code 29036930: Pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons

Pesticides are substances used to control or kill pests such as insects, weeds, and fungi that can harm crops or cause damage to human health. HS Code 29036930 specifically refers to pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain halogens (such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, or iodine) attached to an aromatic hydrocarbon backbone. These compounds are known for their pesticidal properties and are widely used in agriculture and public health programs.

The MFN (Most Favored Nation) duty rate for HS Code 29036930 is 5.5%. This means that every time a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it has to apply the same duty rate of 5.5% for imports of pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons from all its trading partners.

The quantity unit for this HS Code is kilograms (KG). It is important to accurately measure the quantity of pesticides being imported or exported to ensure proper control and regulation.

There are several special tariff preference programs that offer duty-free treatment for imports of pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons:

• Generalized System of Preferences (GSP): This program provides duty-free treatment for eligible products from developing countries.
• Australia Special Rate: Australia has a special rate agreement that offers duty-free treatment for imports of these pesticides.
• Bahrain Special Rate: Bahrain also has a special rate agreement that provides duty-free treatment for imports of pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons.

• Peru Special Rate: Peru has a special rate agreement that offers duty-free treatment for imports of these pesticides.
• Singapore Special Rate: Singapore enjoys duty-free treatment for imports of pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons.

When importing pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons into the United States, it is important to consider the specific requirements and regulations of the importing state. Similarly, when exporting these pesticides from the United States, it is essential to comply with the regulations of the destination state.

HS Code 29036930 plays a crucial role in the proper classification and identification of pesticides derived from halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons. Understanding the HS Code and its associated information helps facilitate trade and ensures compliance with trade regulations and tariff programs.
