2926.90.50.50 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 2926.90.50.50, encompasses "Other" nitrile-function compounds not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the 2926 heading. This classification serves as a residual category for nitrile compounds that do not fall under more specific subheadings, such as malononitrile. The defining characteristic of products within this category is the presence of at least one nitrile group (-CN) within their organic chemical structure.

Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While malononitrile (HTS 2926.90.50.10) is a specific dinitrile compound, this "Other" category captures a diverse range of mono-nitrile or complex poly-nitrile compounds. Classification here relies on the absence of a more specific tariff provision for the particular nitrile compound in question, considering its chemical structure and functional groups.

As a leaf node, 2926.90.50.50 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this category requires careful consideration of the general definition of nitrile-function compounds and the exclusion of items covered by more specific HTS codes. Examples might include various organic molecules containing a single nitrile group attached to an aromatic or aliphatic chain, or more complex structures where the nitrile group is present but not the primary defining characteristic for another classification. The ultimate determination will rest on the specific chemical identity and a thorough review of the entire Chapter 29 to ensure no more precise placement exists.
