HS Code 2921.49 – Amine-function compounds; aromatic monoamines and their derivatives; salts thereof; n.e.c. in item no. 2921.4
HS code 2921.49 is the 6-digit subheading for amine-function compounds, aromatic monoamines and their derivatives, salts thereof, n.e.c. in item no. 2921.4. It is used for benzylamine, N-methylbenzylamine, 4-aminobenzoic acid, 4-aminophenol and 3,4-dichloroaniline.
What HS 2921.49 covers
This 'not elsewhere specified' (NES) HS code serves as a catch-all for aromatic monoamines and their derivatives, including their salts, that do not fit into the more specific subheadings within 2921.4. It encompasses a vast and diverse array of specialty chemicals used as intermediates in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, pigments, and advanced materials. Trade in these compounds is highly varied, involving numerous chemical manufacturers and specialized industries globally, often for niche applications requiring specific chemical properties. Importers are typically fine chemical synthesis companies, while exporters range from large chemical producers to specialized boutique manufacturers. Purity, specific structure, and application-specific requirements are key trade considerations.

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).
