2902.90.30.50 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 2902.90.30.50, pertains to "Other" alkylbenzenes and polyalkylbenzenes. These are organic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more alkyl groups attached to a benzene ring. This category encompasses a diverse range of these hydrocarbons that do not fall under more specific subheadings. Examples include compounds with shorter alkyl chains than dodecylbenzene, or those with multiple, distinct alkyl substituents, as well as cyclic or branched alkyl structures not otherwise specified.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 2902.90.30.10 (Dodecylbenzene), lies in the nature of the attached alkyl group. Dodecylbenzene specifically refers to alkylbenzenes with a twelve-carbon alkyl chain, typically used as a precursor for detergents. This "Other" category, therefore, captures all other alkylbenzenes and polyalkylbenzenes, including those with different chain lengths, branching patterns, or multiple alkyl substituents on the benzene ring.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 2902.90.30.50 is determined by the chemical structure and the absence of specific criteria that would place the substance under a more narrowly defined HTS code within Chapter 29. Importers and exporters should carefully analyze the chemical composition and structure of their goods to ensure correct classification.
