Last updated: April 2026 dataImports from China and India dominate this heading, which covers quinone compounds not classified elsewhere — spanning photographic chemicals (2914691000), pharmaceutical-grade quinone drugs (2914692100), specific anthraquinone derivatives including 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone and 2-ethylanthraquinone (2914696000), and residual quinones (2914699000). China's broad fine-chemical manufacturing base makes it the primary source, with India and Japan also significant suppliers. Quinone drugs entering under 2914692100 may be subject to FDA review, while anthraquinone derivatives are widely used as pulp-processing aids and dye intermediates. Importers should verify Section 301 exposure on Chinese-origin shipments and confirm the correct 10-digit line, as the photographic, pharmaceutical, and industrial subheadings carry distinct classification criteria.

Classification between 2914692100 (quinone drugs) and 2914696000 or 2914699000 turns on whether the compound meets the definition of a medicament or active pharmaceutical ingredient versus a chemical intermediate. CBP applies the General Rules of Interpretation alongside any relevant chapter notes; a binding ruling request is advisable for borderline compounds.
Many organic chemical compounds originating in China fall within the scope of Section 301 tariffs. Importers should check the current Section 301 product lists against the specific 10-digit HTS code to confirm applicability before entry.
