About HS Code 292141

This HS code specifically covers aniline and its salts, a foundational aromatic monoamine. Aniline is a high-volume commodity chemical, indispensable as a precursor in the manufacture of a vast array of products, including dyes, pigments, rubber processing chemicals, agricultural chemicals, and especially isocyanates for polyurethanes. International trade in aniline is dominated by large petrochemical companies as exporters, supplying to downstream chemical manufacturers globally. Importers are typically industries that rely on aniline as a key intermediate for their production lines. Key aspects of trade include ensuring high purity, managing its hazardous nature, and adhering to strict transportation and storage regulations due to its toxicity.

Products Under This Code

Aniline, Aniline hydrochloride, Aniline sulfate, N-methylaniline, N,N-dimethylaniline, 4-chloroaniline

Real World Examples

Covestro (MDI production using aniline), BASF (aniline production), Huntsman (aniline derivatives), Dow Chemical (aniline supply), Wanhua Chemical (aniline for MDI)

Common Misclassification

Often confused with other aromatic monoamines (292149) or aniline derivatives (292142) if not specifically pure aniline or its direct salts, requiring careful chemical identification.

Products Classified Under 2921.41
