Frequently asked questions
I produce laboratory reagents and technical gelatines — do I fall under this residual chemical code or a pharmaceutical one?
Here, if these are generic chemical preparations: compound reagents for diagnostics and laboratory use, gelatines and their derivatives, additives, activated carbons, antifreeze products. This code covers miscellaneous chemicals not classified elsewhere. If instead you manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients, everything moves to 21.10.00.
I make additives for cement and for fuels — should I use the miscellaneous chemicals ATECO code or something more specific?
Yes, prepared additives for cements, fuel additives, and lubricating oil additives all fall under this miscellaneous chemicals residual category. There is no more targeted code for them, so they end up here. Glues and adhesives, however, have their own dedicated entry at 20.59.20.
I produce photographic film and unexposed sensitised paper — is the ATECO code miscellaneous chemicals or photography?
Here. The activities include photographic plates, film, sensitised paper, and chemical preparations for photographic use: this is miscellaneous chemicals, not a photographic service. If instead you produce aromatic essences and essential oils, the dedicated entry is 20.59.30, and glues have their own at 20.59.20.
I make finishing preparations for textiles and leather — do I fall under this residual chemical code or a textile-processing one?
Here, if you produce the chemical preparation used for finishing, because this code focuses on the auxiliary materials themselves, not their application. If instead your business is applying those treatments — finishing and enhancing fabrics — that is a textile processing activity under division 13 and does not belong to this chemical category.
