About HS Code 292143
This HS code covers toluidines and their derivatives, including their salts. Toluidines are methyl-substituted anilines, existing as ortho-, meta-, and para-isomers, each with distinct chemical properties. They serve as important intermediates in the synthesis of a wide range of products, including dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The specific isomeric form of toluidine dictates its application, making precise identification crucial for trade. Importers are typically specialty chemical manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies, while exporters are often large chemical producers. Trade is driven by demand for specific colorants, drug precursors, and agricultural active ingredients, with purity and isomeric composition being paramount.
Products Under This Code
o-Toluidine, m-Toluidine, p-Toluidine, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, 2-chloro-p-toluidine, Toluidine hydrochloride, 5-chloro-o-toluidine
Real World Examples
Clariant (dyes using toluidines), Lonza (pharmaceutical intermediates), BASF (pigment precursors), Sigma-Aldrich (research chemicals), Tokyo Chemical Industry (fine chemicals)
Common Misclassification
May be confused with other aromatic monoamines (292149) or even aniline derivatives (292142) if the specific 'toluidine' structure, characterized by a methyl group on the benzene ring, is not recognized.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
China, India, and Germany are significant producers and consumers of toluidines for various industrial applications.
