HS Code 2921.30 – Amine-function compounds; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines and their derivatives; salts thereof
HS code 2921.30 is the 6-digit subheading for amine-function compounds, cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines and their derivatives, salts thereof. It is used for cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, isophorone diamine, menthanediamine and N-methylcyclohexylamine.
What HS 2921.30 covers
This HS code encompasses cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines and their derivatives, including their salts. These are organic compounds characterized by a cyclic hydrocarbon structure with one or more amine functional groups. They are crucial intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers, often imparting specific structural or reactive properties. Major importers are typically chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and polymer producers seeking high-purity intermediates for their downstream processes. Exporters are often large chemical conglomerates with advanced synthesis capabilities. Key considerations in trade include the specific isomer, purity levels, and compliance with chemical regulations, as these compounds can be highly reactive or have specific handling requirements.

Codes often confused with 2921.30
Common mistake. This code can be confused with acyclic amines (292119) if the cyclic nature is overlooked, or with aromatic amines (29214x) if the distinction between alicyclic and aromatic rings is not clear.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 292130, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 292130 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 40% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 10% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).

Questions about HS 2921.30
What is HS code 292130?
HS code 292130 is a 6-digit subheading in the Harmonized System that covers: Amine-function compounds; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines and their derivatives; salts thereof. This HS code encompasses cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines and their derivatives, including their salts. These are organic compounds characterized by a cyclic hydrocarbon structure with one or more amine functional groups. They are crucial intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers, often imparting specific structural or reactive properties. Major importers are typically chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and polymer producers seeking high-purity intermediates for their downstream processes. Exporters are often large chemical conglomerates with advanced synthesis capabilities. Key considerations in trade include the specific isomer, purity levels, and compliance with chemical regulations, as these compounds can be highly reactive or have specific handling requirements.
What products fall under HS code 292130?
Cyclohexylamine, Dicyclohexylamine, Isophorone diamine, Menthanediamine, N-methylcyclohexylamine, Piperidine, Pyrrolidine
What are common misclassifications for HS code 292130?
This code can be confused with acyclic amines (292119) if the cyclic nature is overlooked, or with aromatic amines (29214x) if the distinction between alicyclic and aromatic rings is not clear.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 292130?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 292130 in UN Comtrade data were China ($250M, 40% of world exports), Germany ($104M) and India ($51M). World exports came to about $631M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
