HTS US: 2922.XX.XXXX
Description
This heading covers oxygen-function amino-compounds, which are organic compounds containing amino groups (-NH2) attached to molecules that also have oxygen-containing functional groups such as hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (-COOH), or sulfonic acid groups. These compounds are widely used in pharmaceuticals, dyes, chemical intermediates, and other industrial applications.
Included in this category are various amino-alcohols, amino acids, amino-phenols, and related salts, often specified by their chemical structure or pharmaceutical relevance.

What is NOT Classified Here?
To avoid misclassification, note that the following are excluded from this heading:
- Simple amino-compounds lacking oxygen functions are classified under other headings within Chapter 29.
- Proteins, peptides, or complex mixtures of amino acids are covered under different tariff codes.
- Manufactured pharmaceuticals in formulated form are generally classified under Chapter 30.
- Organic compounds without amino groups or oxygen functions fall outside this heading.
Notes
- Regulatory Considerations: Many compounds under this heading are regulated due to their pharmaceutical or industrial uses and may require additional documentation or licenses for importation.
