292512

Imides and their derivatives; glutethimide (INN)

Heading 2925Carboxyimide-function compounds (including saccharin and its salts) and imine-function compounds

Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 292512 when importing or exporting imides and their derivatives, such as glutethimide. For example, if you are shipping pharmaceutical-grade glutethimide in bulk for medical use, this code applies.

This code specifically covers imides, which are organic compounds characterized by the presence of the imide functional group. In contrast, HS-6 292511 includes other carboxyimide compounds that may not have the same applications as glutethimide.

When dealing with imides, it’s essential to distinguish them from related compounds like amides, which fall under a different heading. While amides are used in various industrial applications, imides like glutethimide are primarily found in pharmaceuticals.

You may encounter this code when shipping products for research or medical purposes, where precise classification is crucial for compliance with regulations.
