HS Code: Section VI "Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries"
Updated : 2023-01-31 (2022 edition)
The HS Code composed by 6 digits is used to facilitate global trade by providing unified categories to classify various types of goods, and this harmonization is intended to reduce the costs occurred during international trade.

The system comprises approximately 5,300 commodity groups, which are divided into 21 Harmonized System Sections and 99 Chapters (Chapters 98 and 99 are not specified, to allow for national use). The Sections and Chapters can be found on the website of the World Customs Organization (WCO).

The core HS Code is composed of 6 digits. The first two digits indicate the chapter the good belongs to. The middle two digits specify the heading which indicates the category within the chapter. The last two digits identify the sub-heading which designates the more specific subcategory the product is categorized in.

Countries that have adopted the Harmonized System may use up to 10 digits in their codes, with specified additional digits for national purposes.

The HS Committee of the WCO amends the HS every 5-6 years. The latest amendment is the HS Nomenclature 2022 Edition (see here).

Chemicals and chemical products are listed in the Section VI of the Harmonized System. There are 11 chapters related to chemicals and chemical products (Chapters 28 to 38). Inorganic substances and organic substances are usually classified in Chapter 28 and Chapter 29. Chemical mixtures are generally classified in Chapters 30 to 38 based on their intended usage.

TSCA: Significant New Use Rules (SNUR)
Updated: 2024-03-12 (Effective 2024-02-16; Published 2024-01-11)
TSCA: Significant New Use Rules (SNUR) are rules used to regulate New Chemical Substances in accordance with item (2) of paragraph (a) of Article 5 of the TSCA for the purpose of applying regulations in conjunction with Consent Orders in the same way as they are applied for individuals other than the applicant.

Although a Consent Order cannot clearly assess the risk of a chemical substance, one is issued when there is a possibility of excessive risk to human health or the environment and when there is a possibility of a large release into the environment or human exposure. SNUR restrict manufacturing, etc., until an adequate amount of data have been collected for risk assessment. From the viewpoint of fairness, the goal of SNUR is to impose restrictions equivalent to those of Consent Orders on all business operators that deal with chemical substances.

European Union (EU): Carcinogenicity Assessment
Updated: 2024-01-30(ATP20 published 2023-07-11, published amendment 2024-01-05)
European Union (EU) : This Carcinogen Risk Assessment involves the classification and labeling of dangerous substances based on Annex I of Council Directive 67 / 548 / EEC of June 27, 1967 on the Approximation of Laws, Regulations, and Administrative Provisions Relating to the Classification, Packaging and Labeling of Dangerous Substances.
Annex I of Council Directive 67 / 548 / EEC was included in Annex VI of CLP Regulation (EC)No. 1272/2008, which came into effect in January 2009.

NITE-CHRIP provides information on the carcinogenicity classification (Categories 1A, 1B and 2) published in Part 3 of Annex VI.

The outline of the "Category Code" is as follows.
Category 1A Substances known to have carcinogenic potential for humans;
Classification is largely based on human studies that establish a causal relationship between human exposure to a substance and the development of cancer.
Category 1B Substances presumed to have carcinogenic potential for humans;
Classification is largely based on experiments for which there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate animal carcinogenicity.
Category 2 Substances suspected human carcinogens;
The placing of a substance in Category 2 is done on the basis of evidence obtained from human and/or animal studies, but which is not sufficiently convincing to place the substance in Category 1A or 1B, based on strength of evidence together with additional considerations.
Substance name
It is the name of Chemical name listed in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Table 3 of Part 3.
