2914.79.60.00 - 1-Chloro-5-hexanone

This HTS code, 2914.79.60.00, specifically classifies 1-Chloro-5-hexanone. This category falls under the broader heading of ketones and quinones, encompassing their halogenated derivatives. The "halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives" section indicates that the core ketone structure has been modified by the addition of halogens (such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine) or other specified functional groups. 1-Chloro-5-hexanone is a specific chemical compound that fits this description, being a six-carbon chain ketone with a chlorine atom attached at the first carbon position.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 2914.79.90.00, which covers "Other" halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives of ketones and quinones. While both fall under the "Other" subcategories at their respective levels, 2914.79.60.00 is reserved for the precisely identified compound 1-Chloro-5-hexanone. The sibling category is a residual one, intended for any other compounds within this group that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere.

As 2914.79.60.00 is a leaf node in the HTS, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, its scope is precisely defined by the chemical compound 1-Chloro-5-hexanone. Classification into this code relies on confirming the identity of the imported or exported substance as 1-Chloro-5-hexanone, based on its chemical structure and properties, and ensuring it is not a derivative covered by more specific preceding codes within Chapter 29.
