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

Chapter 29: Organic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 292519 when importing or exporting imides and their derivatives, excluding saccharin and glutethimide. For example, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, a solvent used in various chemical processes, falls under this code.

This code specifically covers imides and their derivatives, which are organic compounds characterized by the presence of the imide functional group. In contrast, HS-6 292511 covers saccharin and its salts, which are used primarily as artificial sweeteners.

When classifying products, it’s important to distinguish between this code and HS-6 292520, which pertains to glutethimide. While both are imide derivatives, glutethimide has specific pharmaceutical applications.

Common applications for products classified under HS-6 292519 include industrial solvents, chemical intermediates, and materials used in the manufacture of plastics and resins.
