## How it is structured

2916.32 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 29, are the chapter; the first four, 2916, are heading 29.16; the last two, 32, identify the subheading within the heading.

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

- Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
- Heading 29.16: Unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids, cyclic monocarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
- Within the heading: Aromatic monocarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives
- Subheading 2916.32: Benzoyl peroxide and benzoyl chloride
