Ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives
35 declarable lines
Heading 2914 covers ketones and quinones, whether or not they carry other oxygen functions, plus their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated and nitrosated derivatives. The heading is split first by the type of ketone: acyclic ketones, cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic ketones, aromatic ketones, ketone-alcohols and ketone-aldehydes, and ketone-phenols. Separate subheadings cover quinones and the derivative group, and several lines name specific compounds with their own rates.
Products in this heading
- Acetone
- Butanone (methyl ethyl ketone)
- Methyl isobutyl ketone
- Cyclohexanone
- Camphor
- Diacetone alcohol
- Anthraquinone
- Coenzyme Q10
How to choose the right subheading
- Identify the functional group: a ketone, a quinone, or a ketone that also carries an alcohol or phenol group.
- Determine the carbon skeleton: acyclic, cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic, or aromatic.
- Check for other oxygen functions, since ketone-alcohols, ketone-aldehydes and ketone-phenols have their own subheadings.
- Check whether the compound is a halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivative, which moves it to the 2914.7x group.
- Look for a named compound line first, including distinctions such as natural versus synthetic camphor.
Often confused with
- Heading 2907Phenol (hydroxybenzene)
It is a phenol, not a ketone; heading 2907 covers phenols and phenol-alcohols.
- Heading 2912Formaldehyde and other aldehydes
The carbonyl group sits at the end of the chain, which makes it an aldehyde.
- Heading 2909Ketone peroxides
The heading 2909 text explicitly covers ketone peroxides.
- Heading 2915Acetic acid and other saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids
These carry a carboxyl function rather than a ketone function.
- Heading 2906Menthol and other cyclic alcohols
The defining function is a hydroxyl group on a cyclic skeleton, so heading 2906 applies.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for acetone?
Acetone derived in whole or in part from cumene is 2914.11.10.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 5.5%. Other acetone is 2914.11.50.00 at a general (MFN) rate of Free.
What is the duty on methyl ethyl ketone?
Butanone (methyl ethyl ketone) is classified in 2914.12.00.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 3.1%.
How do I classify camphor?
Natural camphor goes in 2914.29.30.00 at a general (MFN) rate of Free, while synthetic camphor goes in 2914.29.31.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 2.6%. The source of the camphor decides which line applies.
