Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 292212 when importing or exporting amino-alcohols such as diethanolamine, commonly used in cosmetics and industrial applications. For instance, a shipment of diethanolamine in 200-liter drums would fall under this code.

This HS-6 line specifically covers amino-alcohols that do not contain more than one kind of oxygen function, distinguishing it from HS-6 292211, which includes amino-alcohols with multiple oxygen functionalities.

Amino-alcohols classified under this code are often used as surfactants, emulsifiers, or solvents. They can be found in products like hair conditioners, cleaning agents, and as intermediates in chemical synthesis.

When considering related products, HS-6 292213 includes amino-alcohols with additional functional groups, which may change their classification and end-use applications.
