2902.11.00.00 - Cyclohexane

HTS Code 2902.11.00.00 specifically classifies Cyclohexane. This is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon, characterized by a six-carbon ring structure with single bonds between the carbon atoms. Cyclohexane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is primarily used as a precursor in the production of nylon, as well as in the manufacturing of other industrial chemicals and solvents.

This classification distinguishes Cyclohexane from its sibling category, 2902.19.00, which covers "Other" cyclanes, cyclenes, and cycloterpenes. While 2902.11.00.00 is precisely for cyclohexane, the sibling category encompasses a broader range of cyclic hydrocarbons that do not meet the specific definition of cyclohexane, such as cyclopentane or cycloheptane, or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbons like cyclohexene.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2902.11.00.00 is definitive for pure or technically pure cyclohexane, as well as mixtures where cyclohexane is the primary component and dictates the overall classification. It is important to note that any contamination or mixture that significantly alters the chemical identity or primary use may necessitate re-evaluation for a different HTS classification.
