HS v2017 Code: 293212

About heterocyclic compounds; with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, 2-furaldehyde (furfuraldehyde)

HS code 293212 covers a class of heterocyclic organic compounds known as furan derivatives. These compounds play a vital role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. The production and trade of these materials are essential components of the global chemical industry, contributing to the development of a wide range of products and technologies.

Production process

The primary production technique for HS code 293212 compounds involves the chemical synthesis of furan rings. This typically starts with the reaction of a carbonyl compound, such as acetaldehyde or formaldehyde, with a hydroxyl-containing compound, like ethylene glycol or glycerol. The resulting furan ring can then be further modified through various chemical processes to produce the desired derivatives, such as 2-furaldehyde (furfuraldehyde).

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 293212 compounds include a range of organic chemicals, such as aldehydes, alcohols, and other reagents. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are necessary for the synthesis and refinement of these heterocyclic compounds. The availability of skilled labor and access to research and development resources also play a crucial role in the production of these specialized chemicals.

Production outputs

The output of HS code 293212 compounds includes a variety of furan derivatives, which find applications in numerous industries. These compounds may be used as intermediates in the production of 293213 (Heterocyclic compounds; with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure (other than 2-Furaldehyde (furfuraldehyde))) and 293219 (Heterocyclic compounds; with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure (other)) under the broader HS code 2932. Additionally, these furan derivatives may be utilized in the manufacture of 291423 (Carboxylic acids; aromatic, and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives (salicylic acid and its salts)) and other specialized chemicals.
