VI Products of the chemical or allied industries

Schedule B code 28 groups all inorganic chemicals exported from the United States, encompassing acids, bases, salts, oxides, hydroxides, sulfides and other non-organic compounds used in industrial, agricultural and laboratory applications. The category aids customs and trade statistics by aggregating these substances under a single, searchable export classification.

Schedule B code 29 designates organic chemicals, encompassing carbon-based substances such as solvents, polymers, acids, alcohols, and pharmaceutical ingredients that are shipped from the United States. The classification is used by U.S. Customs and trade statisticians to record and analyze exports of these chemical products.

Schedule B code 30 designates all pharmaceutical products exported from the United States, encompassing medicines, vaccines, biologics, diagnostic preparations, and other therapeutic agents formulated for human or animal use. The category includes finished drug formulations, bulk active ingredients, and over-the-counter remedies classified under the Harmonized System.

In Schedule B, code 31 covers fertilisers, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potash based products and compound formulations used to enhance plant growth. It is used for reporting US export shipments of these agricultural chemicals.

This schedule B category (code 32) covers chemicals and extracts used for leather tanning and textile dyeing, together with liquid and paste paints and varnishes intended for protective or decorative coating, all tracked for U.S. export statistics.

Schedule B entry 33 covers essential oils and resinoids intended for perfumery, including natural extracts and distilled liquids derived from aromatic plants, seeds, bark, flowers, or fruits, as well as resinous substances obtained by solvent extraction. These products are classified for export reporting as fragrance ingredients rather than bulk agricultural commodities.

Schedule B code 36 covers all explosive materials and related pyrotechnic items, including fireworks, detonators, primers, blasting agents and safety fuses, as well as various types of matches used for lighting. The classification is used by U.S. exporters to report shipments of these high-risk commodities for statistical and regulatory purposes.

Schedule B code 38 covers a broad range of chemical substances that do not fall under more specific categories, including organic and inorganic compounds, intermediates, reagents, and specialty chemicals used in manufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and research. Items are generally classified by their primary chemical composition and intended industrial application rather than by detailed product function.
