2914 - Ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives:

Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS category, 2914, encompasses a broad range of organic compounds characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group (C=O) within their molecular structure. It includes both simple and complex ketones, whether they are acyclic (straight-chain or branched), cyclanic (cyclic), cyclenic (cyclic with double bonds), or cycloterpenic (complex cyclic structures derived from terpenes). Furthermore, this classification extends to quinones, which are cyclic organic compounds containing two carbonyl groups. The category also covers derivatives where the basic ketone or quinone structure has been modified through halogenation, sulfonation, nitration, or nitrosation, introducing these specific chemical substituents.

Unlike other high-level HTS chapters in Section VI that might focus on different chemical functionalities or broader product types (e.g., Chapter 28 for inorganic chemicals, or other Chapters within 29 for different organic functional groups like alcohols or acids), HTS 2914 is specifically dedicated to ketones and quinones. Its siblings at the Section VI level represent entirely different classes of goods, such as live animals (Chapter 01), vegetable products (Chapters 06-14), or mineral products (Chapters 25-27). Within Chapter 29, this category is distinct from other chapters covering different fundamental organic chemical structures.

The subcategories within 2914 provide further refinement for classification. They distinguish between acyclic, cyclanic, and aromatic ketones, as well as ketones with additional oxygen-containing functional groups like alcohols, aldehydes, or phenols. A separate subdivision is dedicated to quinones. The final subcategories address the halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives of ketones and quinones, allowing for precise identification based on these chemical modifications. This hierarchical structure ensures accurate classification based on the specific chemical properties and substituents present in the compound.
