2914.79.10.00 - 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone 1,8-Dihydroxy-4,5-dinitroanthraquinone; and 4-tert-Butyl-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dinitroacetophenone (Musk ketone) and other artificial musks

This HTS category, 2914.79.10.00, specifically covers certain halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives of ketones and quinones that do not fall under the more specific sibling categories. The primary goods classified here include 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone, a chlorinated quinone used in various chemical applications, and 1,8-Dihydroxy-4,5-dinitroanthraquinone, a dinitrated anthraquinone derivative. Additionally, this code encompasses artificial musks, such as 4-tert-Butyl-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-dinitroacetophenone (Musk ketone), which are synthetic aromatic compounds valued for their fragrance properties.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While both 2914.79.30.00 and 2914.79.40.00 also fall under "Other" halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated aromatic derivatives of ketones and quinones, they are designated for specific compounds like Anthraquinone disulfonic acid, sodium salt, and 4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-1-tetralone. Category 2914.79.10.00 is reserved for the specific named substances and other artificial musks not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 2914.79.10.00 is definitive for the listed compounds and other artificial musks that meet the chemical and structural criteria. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the chemical identity and properties of their goods against the descriptive elements of this classification to ensure compliance.
