HS Code 29223925: Aromatic Amino-aldehydes, -ketones and -quinones

When it comes to international trade, it is essential to have a standardized system for classifying products. The Harmonized System (HS) Code is a globally recognized system used for this purpose. Each product is assigned a unique code that helps identify and categorize it for customs purposes.

One such HS Code is 29223925, which refers to aromatic amino-aldehydes, -ketones, and -quinones. These are organic compounds that contain aromatic rings and specific functional groups. It is important to note that this HS Code specifically applies to compounds with only one oxygen function, as those with multiple oxygen functions are classified differently.

The MFN (Most Favored Nation) duty rate for products falling under HS Code 29223925 is 6.5%. This means that when a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it must apply the same duty rate to similar goods or services from all its trading partners. This ensures fair and equal treatment in international trade.

The quantity unit used for measuring products under HS Code 29223925 is kilograms (KG). This standard unit allows for consistency and ease of measurement across different countries and trading partners.

There are also special tariff preference programs that apply to products classified under HS Code 29223925. These programs offer reduced or zero-duty rates for specific countries or regions. Some of the special tariff preference programs for this HS Code include:

• A+ (Least-Developed Beneficiary Developing Countries): These countries are eligible for duty-free treatment under this subheading.
• AU (Australia Special Rate)
• BH (Bahrain Special Rate)
• CA (NAFTA for Canada): Products imported from Canada under this HS Code receive duty-free treatment.
• CL (Chile Special Rate)
• D (Africa Growth and Opportunity Act - AGOA): Duty-free treatment for imports from eligible countries in Africa.
• E (Caribbean Basin Initiative - CBI)
• IL (Israel Special Rate)
• J (Andean Trade Preference Act - ATPA)
• JO (Jordan Special Rate)
• K (Agreement on Trade in Pharmaceutical Products)
• MA (Morocco Special Rate)
• MX (NAFTA for Mexico)
• OM (Oman Special Rate)
• P (Dominican Republic-Central American Special Rate - DR-CAFTA)
• PE (Peru Special Rate)
• SG (Singapore Special Rate): Products imported from Singapore under this HS Code receive a duty rate of 0.9%.

When importing products under HS Code 29223925 into the United States, it is crucial to consider the states involved in the import-export process. The specific states where the products are being imported to and exported from can have an impact on the overall trade process, including customs procedures and regulations.

HS Code 29223925 represents aromatic amino-aldehydes, -ketones, and -quinones with a specific oxygen function. This code helps classify and identify these products for customs purposes. Understanding the MFN duty rate, quantity unit, and special tariff preference programs associated with this HS Code is essential for international traders and importers.
