Overview
This HTS category, 2915, encompasses saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their derivatives, including anhydrides, halides, peroxides, and peroxyacids. It also covers halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated forms of these compounds. The scope extends to the salts and esters of these acids, provided they meet the structural and compositional criteria. Essentially, this chapter focuses on a specific group of organic acids and their closely related chemical modifications.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the Section VI and Chapter 29 level is crucial for accurate classification. While other chapters within Section VI may cover inorganic acids or more complex organic compounds, and other chapters within Title 29 deal with alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, and amines, HTS 2915 is precisely defined by the saturated, acyclic nature of the monocarboxylic acids and their immediate derivatives. It excludes unsaturated or cyclic carboxylic acids, as well as polycarboxylic acids, which are classified elsewhere.
Within HTS 2915, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification based on the specific acid or its chain length and functionalization. For instance, subcategories are dedicated to common acids like formic and acetic acid, as well as their salts and esters. Others address specific halogenated derivatives like chloroacetic acids, and longer-chain fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic acid. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification of the chemical substances, aiding in the correct application of tariffs and trade regulations.
