# HS code 2918.11: Carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives, lactic acid, its salts and esters > HS code 2918.11 covers carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives, lactic acid, its salts and esters. It sits in heading 29.18 (carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives) in chapter 29 (organic chemicals). Other goods of heading 29.18 are classified under 2918.12 (carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives, tartaric acid), 2918.13 (carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives, salts and esters of tartaric acid), 2918.14 (carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives, citric acid), 2918.15 (carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives, salts or esters of citric acid) and 11 others.

Its first two digits, 29, are the chapter; the first four, 2918, are heading 29.18; the last two, 11, identify the subheading within the heading. Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines. - Chapter 29: Organic chemicals - Heading 29.18: Carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives - Within the heading: Carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives - Subheading 2918.11: Lactic acid, its salts and esters ## In other countries National tariff lines under 2918.11 are live on border.bot for the United States (2 lines, also used by 1 other country). - [United States](https://border.bot/countries/united-states/hs-codes/291811): 2 lines, used by 1 other country - Previous subheading: [2917.39](https://border.bot/hs-codes/291739) Aromatic polycarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives: Other - Next subheading: [2918.12](https://border.bot/hs-codes/291812) Carboxylic acids with alcohol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives: Tartaric acid ## Frequently asked questions ### What does HS code 2918.11 cover?
