HTS US: 2995
Description
HTS Code 2995 encompasses synthetic organic-inorganic compounds and preparations that are utilized across numerous industrial sectors, including chemical manufacturing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. These substances are typically produced through chemical synthesis processes that combine organic and inorganic components creating materials with specialized properties such as enhanced conductivity, stability, or reactivity.
Products classified under this heading may include complex chemical intermediates, specialty chemicals, and preparations that do not fall under other more specific HTS chapters. These compounds serve as crucial raw materials or additives in manufacturing processes or as finished products for industrial use.

Detailed Breakdown of Subheadings
No specific sub-codes are listed in the available database for HTS Code 2995. However, in practice, the 10-digit codes under this heading differentiate between various chemical compositions, physical states, purity grades, and intended industrial applications. Importers and exporters should refer to the detailed USHTS or Customs rulings for precise classification.
| HS/HTS Code | Description | Examples & Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2995.10.0000 | Synthetic organic-inorganic compounds, liquid preparations | Includes solutions or suspensions used in chemical manufacturing or electronics. |
| 2995.20.0000 | Synthetic organic-inorganic compounds, solid preparations | Powders, granules, or solid mixtures for industrial applications. |
| 2995.90.0000 | Other synthetic organic-inorganic compounds and preparations | Miscellaneous products not classified elsewhere in this heading. |
What is NOT Classified Here?
To ensure accurate classification, note the following exclusions:
- Pure organic chemicals: Covered under other headings in Chapter 29 specific to organic compounds.
- Inorganic chemicals without organic components: Classified separately in Chapter 28.
- Pharmaceutical products: Finished medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients are classified under Chapter 30.
- Mixtures or preparations specifically covered in other headings: Such as polymers, pesticides, or dyes, which have dedicated headings.
Notes
- Regulatory Compliance: Many synthetic organic-inorganic compounds may be subject to environmental and safety regulations including EPA and TSCA registration in the United States.
- Tariff and Duty Rates: Duty rates for HTS 2995 products vary based on chemical composition, use, and trade agreements. Importers should verify current rates in the USHTS.
- Classification Guidance: Given the broad nature of this heading, consultation of Customs rulings and product specifications is critical for precise classification.
