Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is specifically oxirane (ethylene oxide)
Oxirane is a separate subheading in heading 29.10, but cyclohexene oxide is not oxirane, so this alternative is unlikely.
If the product is methyloxirane (propylene oxide)
Methyloxirane is a distinct subheading, but cyclohexene oxide is not methyloxirane.
If the product is 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (epichlorohydrin)
Epichlorohydrin is a specific subheading, but cyclohexene oxide does not contain chlorine.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is a separate chemically defined organic compound and not mixed with other substances, as per Chapter 29 Note 1
• Declare the correct 8-digit tariff code 2910.90.00 on your customs documentation
• If the product is transported with a solvent for safety, verify that the solvent does not make it suitable for a specific use, which could affect classification
