About HS Code 292145
This HS code covers 1-naphthylamine (alpha-naphthylamine), 2-naphthylamine (beta-naphthylamine), and their derivatives, including salts. These are aromatic amines derived from naphthalene, serving as important intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and rubber chemicals. Due to significant health concerns, particularly the carcinogenicity of 2-naphthylamine, its use is highly restricted or banned in many regions. Consequently, legitimate international trade primarily focuses on 1-naphthylamine and its derivatives for specific industrial applications where safer alternatives are not viable or for research purposes. Importers are typically specialty chemical manufacturers, while exporters are often fine chemical producers. Strict regulatory compliance and safety protocols are paramount in the trade of these compounds.
Products Under This Code
1-Naphthylamine, 1-Naphthylamine-4-sulfonic acid, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine, 1-Naphthylamine hydrochloride, N-methyl-1-naphthylamine
Real World Examples
BASF (dyes and intermediates), Sumitomo Chemical (specialty chemicals), TCI Chemicals (research chemicals), Sigma-Aldrich (laboratory reagents), Alfa Aesar (fine chemicals)
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with other aromatic monoamines (292149) or even other naphthalene derivatives (e.g., 2903.99 for halogenated, 2907.29 for phenols) if the amine function is overlooked.
Products Classified Under 2921.45
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
India, China, and the USA are significant in the production and trade of 1-naphthylamine derivatives for industrial use.
