About heading 2926

Nitrile-function compounds

Heading 2926 covers nitrile-function compounds, meaning separate chemically defined organic molecules that contain a cyano group. The heading is split first by the named compound (acrylonitrile, 1-cyanoguanidine, fenproporex and the methadone intermediate, alpha-phenylacetoacetonitrile) and then, under 2926.90, by whether the compound is aromatic or not, with further breaks for specific named benzonitriles, pesticide uses, and a residual other line. Most lines carry a 6.5% general (MFN) rate, while several specific compounds and the non-aromatic residual line are free.
