HS Code 2910
Epoxides and Epoxy Compounds
HS code 2910 covers epoxides, epoxyalcohols, and epoxyethers with a three-membered ring, primarily used in the production of high-performance resins and surfact
HS Code 2910 — Epoxides and Epoxy Compounds
This code is for cyclic ethers with a three-membered ring, known as epoxides. These are highly reactive chemicals used to manufacture epoxy resins, plastics, surfactants, and various chemical intermediates.
What's included
- Ethylene oxide
- Propylene oxide
- Epichlorohydrin
- Dieldrin
What's excluded
- Internal ethers → use
2909(Internal ethers that are not three-membered rings belong to 2909.)
Common examples
- Propylene oxide for polyols
- Epichlorohydrin for epoxy resins
- Ethylene oxide gas
- Styrene oxide
Frequently asked questions
Are epoxides dangerous for air freight?
Many epoxides like ethylene oxide are flammable gases or highly reactive liquids, often restricted or requiring specialized pressurized packaging.
Trade & shipping notes
