## How it is structured

2915.90 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 29, are the chapter; the first four, 2915, are heading 29.15; the last two, 90, identify the subheading within the heading.

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

- Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
- Heading 29.15: Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
- Subheading 2915.90: Other

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 2915.90 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 2915.90 at six digits and add their own digits after it.

- Previous subheading: [2915.70](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/291570) Palmitic acid, stearic acid, their salts and esters
- Next subheading: [2916.11](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/291611) Unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives: Acrylic acid and its salts
