HS-4 · Heading
2924 — Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2924 when importing carboxyamide-function compounds, such as acyclic amides like meprobamate or cyclic amides like alachlor. These compounds are often used in pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, making proper classification essential for compliance.
When deciding between HS-6 292411 and HS-6 292412, consider the specific acyclic amide you are importing. If it’s meprobamate, classify it under 292411. For fluoroacetamide or specific pesticides like monocrotophos, use 292412. If your product doesn’t fall into these categories, check 292419 for other acyclic amides.
For cyclic amides, the distinction between HS-6 292421 and HS-6 292425 is important. Use 292421 for general cyclic amides and their derivatives. If your product is specifically alachlor or its salts, classify it under 292425. Products that don’t match these criteria should be classified under 292429.

- What products fall under HS-4 2924?
- HS-4 2924 covers carboxyamide-function compounds, including both acyclic and cyclic amides, such as meprobamate and alachlor.
- How do I choose between HS-6 subheadings?
- Determine the specific compound you are importing. Use 292411 for meprobamate, 292412 for fluoroacetamide, and 292421 for general cyclic amides.
- What is the significance of salts in HS-4 2924?
- Salts of carboxyamide compounds are included in the classification. Ensure to check if your product is a salt to select the correct HS-6 code.
- Are there any restrictions on importing these compounds?
- Yes, some compounds may have specific import regulations or require permits, especially pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Always check local regulations.
- What should I do if my product doesn't fit the specific HS-6 lines?
- If your product doesn’t match any specific HS-6 line, review HS-6 292419 for other acyclic amides or 292429 for other cyclic amides.
