HS v2022 Code: 2904

About sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons; whether or not halogenated

HS code 2904 covers a diverse range of chemical compounds known as sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons. These specialized chemicals play a crucial role in various industries, from pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals to specialty coatings and plastics. As an essential part of the broader chemical industry, this classification code represents a significant segment of international trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of the chemicals under HS code 2904 typically involves complex chemical synthesis processes. These may include sulfonation, nitration, or nitrosation reactions, often carried out in controlled environments with specialized equipment. Depending on the specific compound, the production techniques may vary, but generally involve the careful manipulation of reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions to achieve the desired molecular structure and properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 2904 chemicals include a range of hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as 2901 Acyclic hydrocarbons, 2902 Cyclic hydrocarbons, and 2903 Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons. Additionally, the production process may require various reagents, catalysts, and specialized equipment, such as reaction vessels, distillation columns, and purification systems.

Production outputs

The chemicals classified under HS code 2904 have a wide range of applications and are often used as intermediates or building blocks in the production of other chemicals and products. These outputs may be consumed by industries such as 2907 Phenols; phenol-alcohols, 2908 Halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of phenols or phenol-alcohols, and 2909 (Ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, ketone peroxides (whether or not chemically defined), and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives).
