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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for acrylonitrile?
Acrylonitrile is classified under 2926.10.00.00. The general (MFN) rate for that line is 6.5%.
What is the duty on benzonitrile?
Benzonitrile falls under 2926.90.08.00 as an aromatic benzonitrile. The general (MFN) rate is 6.5%.
How do I classify bromoxynil?
The technical compound 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile is classified under 2926.90.23.00 at a general (MFN) rate of 6.5%. If it is put up as a formulated herbicide preparation rather than the separate compound, it is not classified in heading 2926.
