2909.60.20.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 2909.60.20.00, covers "Other" alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, acetal and hemiacetal peroxides, ketone peroxides, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives that are aromatic in nature. These are organic compounds characterized by the presence of a peroxide functional group (-O-O-) within their molecular structure, linked to aromatic ring systems. They often exhibit oxidizing properties and are utilized in various chemical processes, including as initiators in polymerization reactions or as disinfectants.

This specific subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 2909.60.10.00 ("Products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI"), by excluding any aromatic peroxides that are specifically addressed by that particular additional U.S. note. The inclusion of "Other" in the description signifies that this classification serves as a residual category for aromatic peroxides not otherwise specified within the immediate hierarchical level.

As a leaf node, 2909.60.20.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on a careful analysis of the chemical structure to confirm the presence of an aromatic peroxide group and to ensure the product does not meet the criteria of the sibling category. Examples might include aromatic benzoyl peroxides or cumene hydroperoxides when they are not covered by specific additional U.S. notes.
