Malononitrile
Malononitrile (NC-CH2-CN) is a dicyano-substituted organic compound classified under HTS 2926.90.50.10 as a nitrile-function compound due to its two cyano groups directly attached to carbon. It is a colorless liquid used primarily as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing fluorine or imported as mixtures with >1% impurities
Fluorine-containing nitriles or impure mixtures fall under earlier 'other' provisions in 2926.90 before specific malononitrile subheading.
If when diluted in solvents for safe transport exceeding Chapter 29 note (e)
Solutions in solvents beyond safety/transport purposes become chemical preparations of Chapter 38, not pure organic compounds.
If chemically modified into heterocyclic derivatives like barbituric acid precursors
Cyclization or ring formation with other elements moves it from acyclic nitriles (2926) to heterocyclic compounds (2933).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide chemical analysis certificates confirming ≥98% purity to verify classification under 2926.90.50.10 rather than mixtures
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documenting hazardous properties (toxic, flammable) for proper DOT and customs handling
• Ensure packaging complies with UN standards for toxic liquids; avoid retail packaging that might shift to Chapter 38
