2930.90.30.00 - Thiocyanates, thiurams and isothiocyanates 🖩

This HTS classification, 2930.90.30.00, specifically covers thiocyanates, thiurams, and isothiocyanates that are not classified elsewhere within the organo-sulfur compounds chapter. These are organic compounds characterized by the presence of sulfur and nitrogen in specific functional groups. Thiocyanates contain the -SCN group, thiurams are sulfur-containing derivatives of thiourea, and isothiocyanates feature the -NCS group. Their applications can vary widely, but a significant use for some compounds within this subheading is in agricultural products as pesticides.

Within the broader category of "Organo-sulfur compounds: Other: Other:", this subheading focuses on specific functional groups (thiocyanates, thiurams, and isothiocyanates) that are not separately enumerated or are otherwise not classified in more specific sub-subheadings. It's important to distinguish these from other organo-sulfur compounds which might include mercaptans, sulfides, disulfides, or other sulfur-containing organic molecules without these particular nitrogen-sulfur linkages.

As a leaf node, 2930.90.30.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this subheading relies on the definitive identification of the chemical structure as a thiocyanate, thiuram, or isothiocyanate. Practical classification criteria will involve examining the chemical composition and functional groups present in the imported or exported merchandise, distinguishing it from similar compounds that may fall under different HTS codes based on their specific chemical makeup and intended use.
