HS 292129 Other

For products classified under Harmonized System (HS) subheading 2921.29, which covers 'Acyclic amines and their derivatives; salts thereof: Cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines, and their derivatives; salts thereof: Other,' the Most Favored Nation (MFN) duty rate generally ranges. For example, the United States imposes an MFN duty rate of 6.5% ad valorem. Importers should consult the specific tariff schedule of the importing country (e.g., USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule, EU TARIC, UK Trade Tariff) for the precise and current MFN rate applicable to their destination market.

Yes, preferential duty rates are frequently available for HS 2921.29 under various free trade agreements (FTAs) and special programs. For instance, imports into the United States from countries like Australia (AU), Bahrain (BH), Chile (CL), Colombia (CO), Israel (IL), Jordan (JO), Korea (KR), Morocco (MA), Oman (OM), Panama (PA), Peru (PE), and Singapore (SG) may be eligible for a 'Free' (0%) duty rate under respective FTAs. Similarly, countries participating in programs like the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) might also qualify for reduced or duty-free entry. Importers must ensure they meet the Rules of Origin requirements of the specific trade agreement to claim preferential treatment and provide proper documentation, such as a certificate of origin.

HS 2921.29 is a residual subheading within Chapter 29, specifically for 'Cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines, and their derivatives; salts thereof: Other.' The primary classification criteria involve verifying the chemical structure of the compound. It must be an amine (containing at least one nitrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom) that is cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic. The 'Other' designation means it does not fall into the more specific subheadings within 2921.21 or 2921.22. Importers should have detailed chemical specifications, including CAS numbers and chemical names, to ensure accurate classification. Reference to the Explanatory Notes of the Harmonized System (WCO) for Chapter 29 provides further guidance on the scope of amines and their derivatives.

Importing chemicals under HS 2921.29 typically requires standard customs documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading or air waybill. Additionally, due to the chemical nature of the goods, specific regulatory documentation is often necessary. This may include a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), and potentially import licenses or permits depending on the specific chemical and the importing country's regulations (e.g., chemical control laws, environmental regulations). For claiming preferential duty rates, a valid Certificate of Origin is mandatory. Customs brokers should verify all required documentation with the relevant customs authorities prior to shipment.

Yes, like many chemical products, goods classified under HS 2921.29 could potentially be subject to additional duties such as anti-dumping duties (ADD) or countervailing duties (CVD). These duties are imposed by importing countries to counteract unfair trade practices, such as dumping (selling goods below fair market value) or subsidies provided by foreign governments. Importers must regularly check the trade remedies databases of the importing country (e.g., U.S. Department of Commerce, EU Commission) to determine if any specific product originating from certain countries is subject to ADD or CVD. Failure to account for these duties can result in significant financial penalties and delays.
