HS Code 2922.14 – Amino-alcohols, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function; their ethers and esters; salts thereof; dextropropoxyphene (INN) and its salts
HS code 2922.14 is the 6-digit subheading for amino-alcohols, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, their ethers and esters, salts thereof, dextropropoxyphene (INN) and its salts. It is used for dextropropoxyphene, dextropropoxyphene hydrochloride, dextropropoxyphene napsylate, propoxyphene and (+)-Propoxyphene.
What HS 2922.14 covers
Dextropropoxyphene and its salts fall under this HS code, representing a specific pharmaceutical compound with significant trade implications. Historically, dextropropoxyphene was used as an opioid analgesic for mild to moderate pain relief. However, due to concerns regarding its cardiac toxicity and potential for overdose, its use has been largely restricted or withdrawn in many countries. International trade in this substance is therefore highly regulated, subject to strict controls under international drug conventions. Importers and exporters are typically pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, and specialized chemical companies operating under stringent licensing and monitoring by national and international drug control agencies. Key things to know include the critical importance of compliance with national and international drug laws, the need for robust supply chain security, and the declining global demand due to safety concerns and availability of safer alternatives.

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).
