2922 — Oxygen-function amino-compounds
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2922 when importing oxygen-function amino-compounds like monoethanolamine or diethanolamine. These compounds are often used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Proper classification ensures compliance and accurate duty calculations.
When deciding between subheadings, consider the specific type of amino-alcohol. For example, HS-6 292211 covers monoethanolamine, while HS-6 292212 is for diethanolamine. If you're importing a product that contains both, you may need to look closely at the composition to choose the correct line.
Another distinction lies in the presence of specific compounds. For instance, HS-6 292241 is designated for lysine and its esters, while HS-6 292242 pertains to glutamic acid. If your shipment includes amino acids, identifying the specific type is crucial for accurate classification.

- What is HS-4 2922 used for?
- HS-4 2922 is used for classifying oxygen-function amino-compounds, including amino-alcohols and amino-acids, which are essential in various industries.
- How do I determine the correct HS-6 code?
- To determine the correct HS-6 code, identify the specific compound in your shipment, such as monoethanolamine or lysine, and refer to the detailed descriptions under HS-4 2922.
- Are there any special import regulations for amino-acids?
- Yes, certain amino-acids may be subject to specific import regulations, including safety standards and documentation requirements, depending on their end-use.
- What is the difference between amino-alcohols and amino-acids?
- Amino-alcohols contain both amino and alcohol functional groups, while amino-acids are organic compounds that contain an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, each serving different purposes.
- What should I do if my product contains multiple amino-compounds?
- If your product contains multiple amino-compounds, analyze the composition to identify the predominant compound and select the appropriate HS-6 code accordingly.
