HS Code 2926 — Nitrile-Function Compounds
Nitriles are organic compounds containing a cyano group. They are widely used as industrial solvents (like acetonitrile) and are essential for producing synthetic rubber and high-performance plastics.
What's included
- Acrylonitrile
- Acetonitrile
- Fenproporex
- Benzonitrile
What's excluded
- Inorganic cyanides → use
2837(Only organic nitrile compounds are classified in chapter 29.)
Common examples
- HPLC grade acetonitrile
- Acrylonitrile bulk liquid
- Adiponitrile for nylon synthesis
- Cyanoguanidine
Frequently asked questions
What is the primary risk when shipping nitriles?
Many nitriles are highly toxic and flammable; they can release hydrogen cyanide gas if they react with certain substances.
