This heading includes :

(1) Tetramethyl lead (Pb(CH3)4)and tetraethyl lead (Pb(C2H5)4). Volatile liquids, colourless in the pure state, whereas the technical products are yellow; toxic; very efficient anti-knock agents.

(2) Tributyltin compounds.

(3) Organo-phosphorous compounds.

These are organic compounds containing at least one phosphorous atom directly linked to a carbon atom.

This group includes :

(I) Non-halogenated organo-phosphorous derivatives such as :

(a) Dimethyl methylphosphonate*, dimethyl propylphosphonate, diethyl ethylphosphonate and methylphosphonic acid.

(b) Salt of methylphosphonic acid and (aminoiminomethyl)urea (1 : 1).

(c) 2,4,6-Tripropyl-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinane 2,4,6-trioxide.

(d) (5-Ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl) methyl methyl methylphosphonate.

(e) 3,9-Dimethyl-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro[5.5] undecane 3,9-dioxide.

(f) Sodium 3-(trihydroxysilyl) propyl methylphosphonate.

(II) Halogenated organo-phosphorous derivatives such as :

(b) Propylphosphonic dichloride.

(c) O-(3-chloropropyl) O-[4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] methylphosphonothionate.

(d) Trichlorfon (ISO).

(e) O-Isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (sarin).

(f) O-Pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate (soman).

Trade in chemicals mentioned as examples in (I) and (II) is controlled by the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction (Chemical Weapons Convention), except trichlorfon (ISO), which is controlled under the Rotterdam Convention.

(4) Organo-silicon compounds. These are separate chemically defined compounds in which the silicon atom is directly linked to at least one carbon atom of an organic radical. These compounds include organic silanes and siloxanes; in some cases these products are polymerized to make silicones. Silanes include chlorosilanes (e.g., dimethyldichlorosilane), alkoxysilanes (e.g., methyltrimethoxysilane), alkyl or aryl silanes (e.g., diphenylsilanediol, tetramethylsilane) and other multifunctional (amino, nitrile, oxiranyl, oximo, acetoxy, etc.) silanes. Siloxanes include hexamethyldisiloxane*, octamethyltrisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane. The heading also includes hexamethyldisilazane and organo-disilanes.

This heading does not include inorganic silicon compounds, which are generally classifiable in Chapter 28 (e.g., silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) in heading 28.12 or trichlorosilane (SiHCl3) in heading 28.53). Silicic acid esters and their salts are classified in heading 29.20. Deliberate mixtures of separate chemically defined organo-silicon compounds are classified elsewhere in the Nomenclature, generally in heading 38.24. This heading further excludes non-chemically defined products containing in the molecule more than one silicon-oxygen-silicon linkage, and containing organic groups connected to the silicon atoms by direct silicon-carbon bonds. These are silicones of heading 39.10.

(5) Iron carbonyl, nickel carbonyl, etc.

(6) Organo-arsenic compounds.

(a) Methylarsonic acid (CH3AsO(OH)2) and its salts. Crystallises in flakes, and forms crystalline salts such as sodium methylarsonate (colourless, used in medicine).

(b) Cacodylic acid and its salts. These contain the radical (–As(CH3)2) known as cacodyl. Used in medicine.

Cacodylic acid occurs as odourless, colourless crystals. Its main salt is sodium cacodylate, a crystalline white powder.

(c) p-Aminophenylarsonic acid (H2NC6H4AsO(OH)2) and its salts. Crystallises in shiny white needles. Its main salt is sodium p-aminophenylarsonate, an odourless, white, crystalline powder; used in medicine, particularly against sleeping-sickness.

(d) Amino-hydroxyphenylarsonic acids, their formyl and acetyl derivatives and their salts.

(e) Arsenobenzene (C6H5As=AsC6H5) and its derivatives, compounds analogous to azo compounds but containing the arseno group (–As=As–) instead of the azo group (–N=N–).

(7) o-Iodosobenzoic acid.

(8) Metal alkyls, metal fullerenes and metallocenes.

This heading excludes organo-sulphur compounds whose molecules have sulphur atom(s) directly linked to carbon atom(s) (see Note 6 to this Chapter). It excludes compounds whose molecules contain, in addition to sulphur atom(s) directly linked to carbon atom(s), other non-metal or metal atom(s) directly linked to carbon atom(s) (e.g., fonofos (ISO)) (heading 29.30).

This heading also excludes organo-mercury compounds which may contain one or more mercury atoms, in particular the (–HgX) group in which X is an inorganic or organic acid residue (heading 28.52).

FAQs
What is HS code 2931?
Arrow button for expand and collapse
HS code 2931 includes Organic chemicals - Other organo-inorganic compounds..
How many sub-headings are there in HS code 2931?
Arrow button for expand and collapse
There are 17 sub-heading(s) in HS code 2931.
What is an HS Code and Why Does it Hold For Cross-Border Trade?
HS code is a standardized six-digit numerical classification system developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and acts as a universal language for simplifying the process of identifying and classifying traded products. They ensure consistent customs clearance, enable accurate duty calculation, and help identify relevant trade regulations. This simplifies the process for businesses, saving time, reducing risk, and promoting informed decision-making.
What are Controls and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?
In global trade, controls refer to a set of regulations and policies implemented by governments to manage the import and export of goods and services. These controls can take various forms, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, export controls, and licensing requirements. Companies should prioritize understanding and adhering to them for compliance, reduced risk of legal issues, mitigating reputational damage, staying competitive, and building trust with governments.
What are Tariffs in Global Trade and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?
In global trade, tariffs are a type of tax levied by a government on imported goods. They act as a financial barrier to entry, increasing the overall cost of the imported product for domestic consumers and businesses. By understanding how tariffs work and their potential impact, companies can make informed decisions about pricing, sourcing, and market expansion, ultimately ensuring their competitiveness in the global marketplace.
What are FTAs in Global Trade and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?
In global trade, Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are legally binding agreements between two or more countries aimed at reducing or eliminating barriers to trade between them. By understanding the terms of relevant FTAs and strategically incorporating them into their business plans, companies can enjoy reduced costs, expanded market access, and a more competitive edge in international trade.
