Why is HS code 291636 missing from the HS2012-HS2007 correspondence table? #

Question:
In reviewing the correspondence table between HS 2012 and HS 2007, I noticed that the HS 2007 code 291636 is not linked to any product in HS 2012. Could you clarify why this code is missing?

Answer:
The absence of HS code 2916.36 in the HS2012 correspondence is due to an official correction by the World Customs Organization (WCO).

Code 2916.36 Was Deleted Due to Error #

The subheading 2916.36 – Binapacryl (ISO) was initially included in HS 2007 but was later found to be an error. The WCO issued Errata No. 3 in December 2008, officially deleting this code from the Harmonized System.

Errata N° 3 (December 2008)

https://www.wcoomd.org/-/media/wco/public/global/pdf/topics/nomenclature/instruments-and-tools/hs-nomenclature-older-edition/2007/erratum/errata-e-december-2008.pdf?la=en

As a result, 2916.36 does not exist in HS 2012 and, therefore, has no corresponding link in the HS2012–HS2007 correlation table.
