## How it is structured

2909.60 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 29, are the chapter; the first four, 2909, are heading 29.09; the last two, 60, identify the subheading within the heading.

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

- Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
- Heading 29.09: Ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, acetal and hemiacetal peroxides, ketone peroxides (whether or not chemically defined), and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
- Subheading 2909.60: Alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, acetal and hemiacetal peroxides, ketone peroxides and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
