About HS Code 292142

This category covers aniline derivatives and their salts, encompassing a broad range of compounds structurally related to aniline but with additional substituents. These derivatives are vital intermediates in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and advanced polymer additives. They often possess enhanced or modified properties compared to basic aniline, making them suitable for more specific and high-value applications. Trade involves chemical manufacturers supplying to specialized industries that require these tailored intermediates. Importers are typically companies engaged in fine chemical synthesis, while exporters are often global chemical producers with diverse product portfolios. Purity, specific isomer, and regulatory compliance are critical trade considerations.

Products Under This Code

N-ethylaniline, N-isopropylaniline, 4-chloroaniline, 2-nitroaniline, 4-aminoacetophenone, N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine, 4-aminodiphenylamine

Real World Examples

Lanxess (aniline derivatives for rubber), Sumitomo Chemical (various intermediates), Syngenta (agrochemical intermediates), Solvay (specialty amines), TCI Chemicals (research chemicals)

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with pure aniline (292141) or other aromatic monoamines (292149) if the specific 'derivative' aspect of aniline is not clearly identified, leading to incorrect classification.

Industry

This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.

Trade Overview

Germany, China, and India are key players in the production and trade of these specialized aniline derivatives.
