1) Solvent in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries
Diethyl ether is one of the widely used solvents in chemical industries. Owing to its high solvency power, it is used to dissolve organic substances and in complex chemical reactions. In the pharmaceutical industry, this solvent is used to produce various medicines and pharmaceutical materials. Due to its specific physical and chemical characteristics, diethyl ether plays an important role in drug manufacturing processes and holds a special place in this industry.
2) Laboratory Applications
In chemical laboratories, diethyl ether is one of the essential tools. It is used as a solvent for extracting chemical compounds and for separating substances. The volatility of diethyl ether makes it a suitable choice in sensitive laboratory processes, especially for washing and cleaning materials from other solvents.
3) Anesthetics
In the past, diethyl ether was used as an anesthetic for surgeries. Although its use has decreased due to the production of harmful gases, in some countries and specific cases it is still used as an anesthetic drug. Ether’s anesthetic properties are due to its direct effect on the nervous system and it has played an important role in the history of medicine.
4) Fuel and Additive Production
Diethyl ether is also used in certain specialized industrial applications as an additive in fuels. By improving combustion efficiency, it is employed as an effective material in producing higher-quality and cleaner fuels.
Customs Tariff and HS Code for Diethyl Ether
The customs tariff code for diethyl ether is 29091100. This code is defined under the customs classification for simple ethers and includes all derivatives of alcoholic ethers, such as diethyl ether. Using this code in customs declarations is essential and plays a key role in the clearance processes.
| Product Name | Short Description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Diethyl Ether (Diethyl Ether) | Simple ether; flammable and volatile solvent | 29091100 |
Note: The final tariff line may change in the declaration depending on technical specifications, composition, and accompanying documents of the goods.
Special Conditions for Import and Export of Diethyl Ether (Diethyl Ether)
Diethyl ether (Diethyl Ether), due to its specific chemical properties and wide range of applications in various industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory sectors, has become one of the highly demanded commodities in the global market. Because of its hazardous and volatile nature, special points and regulations must be observed in the import and export process.
Importing Diethyl Ether into Iran
Due to the high demand of chemical and pharmaceutical industries for diethyl ether, Iran imports a large volume of this material annually from advanced countries. The main imports of this substance come from China, India, Germany, and the United States. These countries, due to their strong capabilities in producing high-quality chemicals and meeting global market needs, play a key role in exporting diethyl ether to Iran. The volume of diethyl ether imports into Iran averages thousands of tons per year. Due to the rapid growth of chemical and laboratory industries in the country, the need to import this material exists continuously. Also, the lack of sufficient domestic production of diethyl ether is another reason that increases the import volume of this substance into Iran.
Exporting Diethyl Ether from Iran
Iran has a limited ability to produce diethyl ether; however, due to domestic needs for this material, its export is carried out on a small scale. This substance is mostly exported to neighboring countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and some Central Asian countries. Iran is not known as a major exporter in this field, and the majority of domestic production is allocated to domestic consumption.
Import and Export Volumes of Diethyl Ether Worldwide
The global trade volume of diethyl ether is very high due to its wide applications in various industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory sectors. According to the latest international statistics, global trade of this substance reaches billions of dollars per year. The import and export volume of this substance is constantly increasing, as different industries around the world rely on diethyl ether for their production.
Countries Exporting Diethyl Ether Worldwide
- Germany, China, the United States, and Japan are among the largest exporters of diethyl ether globally. Thanks to strong production infrastructures and advanced technologies, these countries are capable of supplying the global market. Large multinational companies in these countries manage the production and supply of diethyl ether and export to many developing and developed countries.
Countries Importing Diethyl Ether Worldwide
- Among the largest importers of diethyl ether in the world are Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates, India, Brazil, and Turkey. Due to the rapid development of chemical and pharmaceutical industries, these countries have a strong need to import diethyl ether. In addition, countries with strong laboratory and research industries are among the other major importers of this substance.
Safety and Health Notes in Importing and Exporting Diethyl Ether
Due to its flammable and volatile characteristics, diethyl ether is considered a hazardous substance. It evaporates rapidly and can ignite upon contact with air. Therefore, special care and attention must be exercised during its transport and storage. For importing and exporting this material, compliance with international safety standards—such as using packaging resistant to heat and pressure—is mandatory. In addition, providing the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is one of the essential documents for clearing diethyl ether from customs. This sheet includes information on storage methods, safe transport, and emergency responses in case of incidents.
Required Documents for Diethyl Ether Clearance
- To clear diethyl ether (Diethyl Ether) from customs, a set of essential documents must be carefully prepared and submitted. These documents play a key role in facilitating the clearance process, and any deficiency may lead to delays or legal issues. Below is a complete review of these documents:
1. Commercial Invoice
The commercial invoice is the most important document that provides general information about the goods to customs. This document must include the following items:
Product name: Diethyl ether
Quantity and weight: specify exactly how much diethyl ether is being imported.
Goods price: the value of the goods in local or foreign currency must be clearly stated.
Seller and buyer information: including name, address, and phone number.
2. Packing List
The packing list provides precise information about the packaging method and the contents of each package. This document includes:
Number of packages: specify how many boxes or packages there are.
Dimensions and weight of each package: the dimensions and weight of each package must be clearly stated.
Description of each package’s contents: state what each package contains.
3. Certificate of Origin
The certificate of origin indicates the country where diethyl ether was produced. This document is usually issued by the chamber of commerce or accredited entities in the country of origin and is essential for confirming the origin of the goods and applying customs tariffs.
4. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
This sheet provides complete information about potential hazards of diethyl ether, safety methods for its storage and transport, and procedures for dealing with emergencies. Having an MSDS is mandatory for sensitive chemicals such as diethyl ether and helps customs authorities decide on the substance’s safety.
5. Bill of Lading
The bill of lading is a document that includes information related to the transport of goods. It provides details such as the mode of transport (ship, truck, or airplane), the transport route, and delivery details. The bill of lading is highly important because it acts as a legal document in the clearance process.
