## How it is structured

2904.91 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 29, are the chapter; the first four, 2904, are heading 29.04; the last two, 91, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
- Heading 29.04: Sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons, whether or not halogenated
- Within the heading: Other
- Subheading 2904.91: Trichloronitromethane (chloropicrin)

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 2904.91 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 2904.91 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
