2909.60.10.00 - Products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI

This HTS classification covers specific organic peroxides derived from aromatic compounds. Aromatic peroxides are characterized by the presence of a peroxide functional group (-O-O-) directly attached to or within an aromatic ring structure. This includes substances like aromatic hydroperoxides and peroxy acids derived from aromatic carboxylic acids. These compounds often find use as polymerization initiators or oxidizing agents in various chemical processes.

While the broader heading 2909.60 encompasses a range of peroxides, this subheading specifically isolates those with an aromatic origin. It is distinguished from its sibling category, 2909.60.20.00 ("Other"), which would cover peroxides lacking an aromatic component, such as aliphatic peroxides or those derived from non-aromatic cyclic compounds. The aromatic nature is the key distinguishing feature for classification under this code.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2909.60.10.00 hinges on the definitive presence of an aromatic group in conjunction with the peroxide functionality. Importers should consult additional U.S. Note 3 to Section VI for a precise definition of "products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI" as it relates to this specific aromatic peroxide classification.
