HS Code 2922.18 – Amino-alcohols, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function; their ethers and esters; salts thereof, 2-(N,N- Diisopropylamino)ethanol
HS code 2922.18 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, 2-(N,N- Diisopropylamino)ethanol. It is used for 2-(N,N-Diisopropylamino)ethanol, diisopropylethanolamine, DIPEAE, N,N-Diisopropyl-2-aminoethanol and 2-(Diisopropylamino)ethanol.
What HS 2922.18 covers
2-(N,N-Diisopropylamino)ethanol is a specialized amino-alcohol with distinct industrial applications, primarily serving as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical compounds. Its unique chemical structure makes it valuable in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and certain specialty polymers. It can also function as a catalyst or a reagent in specific organic reactions. Due to its specialized nature, the international trade of this compound is typically conducted by chemical manufacturers and distributors catering to niche markets within the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Importers and exporters often include countries with advanced chemical research and development capabilities and robust pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors. Key things to know include the importance of high purity for its intended applications, the need for careful handling due to its potential irritant properties, and its role as a building block for more complex molecules rather than a direct end-product.

Codes often confused with 2922.18
Common mistake. This code might be confused with other complex amino-alcohols classified under 292219 (n.e.c.) or other nitrogen-containing organic compounds (e.g., 2921 for acyclic amines), but 292218 specifically identifies this particular diisopropylaminoethanol.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 292218, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 292218 in UN Comtrade data was India, with 78% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was France, with 39% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
