HS Code 2921.41 – Amine-function compounds; aromatic monoamines and their derivatives, aniline and its salts
HS code 2921.41 is the 6-digit subheading for amine-function compounds, aromatic monoamines and their derivatives, aniline and its salts. It is used for aniline, aniline hydrochloride, aniline sulfate, N-methylaniline and N,N-dimethylaniline.
What HS 2921.41 covers
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.

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).
