2914.29.10.00 - Isophorone

This HTS classification, 2914.29.10.00, specifically covers Isophorone. Isophorone is a cyclic ketone characterized by its ring structure and the presence of a single ketone functional group without any other oxygen-containing functionalities. It is a colorless liquid with a distinct peppermint-like odor and is primarily used as a solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesives due to its slow evaporation rate and excellent solvency properties.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 2914.29.50.00, which broadly covers "Other" cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic ketones without other oxygen function. While 2914.29.10.00 is a specific chemical compound, the "Other" category would encompass a wider array of similar ketones that do not fall under any more specific subheadings within the broader 2914.29 classification. The key differentiator is the precise identification and enumeration of Isophorone.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the precise identification of the chemical compound Isophorone, based on its chemical structure and properties, as per the descriptive text and common trade understanding of this substance.
