About HS Code 292111

This HS code covers acyclic monoamines and their derivatives, specifically focusing on methylamine, di- or trimethylamine, and their salts. These are fundamental organic building blocks, characterized by a single amine functional group in an open-chain structure. They are extensively traded by chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, agrochemical producers, and dye industries. These amines serve as crucial intermediates in the synthesis of a vast array of products, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, solvents, and surfactants. Due to their volatility, often pungent odor, and sometimes corrosive or flammable properties, their international trade requires stringent handling, storage, and transportation protocols, along with strict adherence to chemical safety and environmental regulations.

Products Under This Code

Methylamine, Dimethylamine, Trimethylamine, Methylamine hydrochloride, Dimethylamine hydrochloride, Trimethylamine hydrochloride

Real World Examples

BASF (methylamines), Taminco (now part of Eastman Chemical, methylamines), Arkema (various amines)

Common Misclassification

This code can be confused with other acyclic monoamines under 292119 if the specific amine is not methyl-, di-, or trimethylamine, or with 292121 (polyamines) if the compound has more than one amine group.
