2914.69.60.00 - 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone; and 2-Ethylanthraquinone

This HTS classification covers specific quinone compounds, namely 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone and 2-ethylanthraquinone. These are organic chemicals characterized by their quinone structure, which involves a cyclic diketone. 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone, also known as quinizarin, is an important intermediate in dye production, while 2-ethylanthraquinone is utilized in the production of hydrogen peroxide. Their inclusion under this heading signifies their specific chemical composition and industrial applications as defined by the Harmonized System.

This particular subcategory, 2914.69.60.00, is distinguished from its sibling category, 2914.69.90.00 ("Other"), by its explicit enumeration of two distinct chemical entities. While 2914.69.90.00 encompasses all other quinones not specifically listed elsewhere within the broader 2914.69 "Other" heading, this heading provides a definitive classification for 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone and 2-ethylanthraquinone, ensuring accurate tariff application for these particular compounds.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive for the specified substances. Importers and exporters dealing with 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone or 2-ethylanthraquinone should use this code to ensure correct declaration and compliance with customs regulations.
