Products classified under HTS 2926.90.08.00
Benzonitrile
Benzonitrile is a colorless liquid organic compound with the formula C6H5CN, classified under HTS 2926.90.08.00 as an aromatic nitrile-function compound. It serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and resins.
Technical Grade Benzonitrile 99%
Technical grade benzonitrile at 99% purity is a chemically defined aromatic nitrile used in industrial synthesis of rubber additives and herbicides. It falls under HTS 2926.90.08.00 as a separate organic compound with impurities allowed per chapter note (a).
Pharmaceutical Grade Benzonitrile
High-purity benzonitrile (>99.5%) for use as an intermediate in API synthesis, such as for antidepressants and antivirals. Classified under HTS 2926.90.08.00 as an aromatic nitrile-function compound meeting chemical definition standards.
Stabilized Benzonitrile for Transport
Benzonitrile with added stabilizer to prevent polymerization during shipping, remaining a chemically defined compound. HTS 2926.90.08.00 applies per chapter note (f) for necessary preservatives.
Benzonitrile with Anti-Dusting Agent
Powdered or granulated benzonitrile treated with anti-dusting agent for safe handling, still classified as the pure compound under HTS 2926.90.08.00 per chapter note (g).
Industrial Benzonitrile for Resin Production
Benzonitrile used in manufacturing nylon precursors and specialty resins, a pure aromatic nitrile under HTS 2926.90.08.00. Meets chapter requirements for separate organic compounds.
Benzonitrile USP Grade
USP-grade benzonitrile meeting United States Pharmacopeia standards for pharmaceutical intermediates. Classified as aromatic nitrile in HTS 2926.90.08.00, distinct from finished medicaments.
4-Methylbenzonitrile Derivative Base
Pure benzonitrile serving as base for p-tolunitrile production, but imported as standalone aromatic nitrile. HTS 2926.90.08.00 for specific benzonitrile classification.
Benzonitrile for Pesticide Synthesis
Reagent-grade benzonitrile for synthesizing herbicides like ioxynil. Remains classified under HTS 2926.90.08.00 as the pure nitrile-function compound.
