HS Code 2922.29 – Amino-naphthols and other amino-phenols, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, their ethers and esters; salts thereof n.e.c. in item no. 2922.2

HS code 2922.29 is the 6-digit subheading for amino-naphthols and other amino-phenols, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, their ethers and esters, salts thereof n.e.c. in item no. 2922.2. It is used for 1-Amino-2-naphthol, 2-Amino-1-naphthol, p-Aminophenol, o-Aminophenol and m-Aminophenol.

What HS 2922.29 covers

This category encompasses amino-naphthols and other amino-phenols, along with their ethers, esters, and salts, provided they do not contain more than one type of oxygen function and are not specified elsewhere within HS subheading 2922.2. These compounds are vital intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, and photographic chemicals. Their unique chemical structure, combining amino and hydroxyl groups on aromatic rings, makes them versatile building blocks for complex organic molecules. Importers and exporters are typically specialized chemical manufacturers, dye producers, and pharmaceutical companies. The trade requires high purity standards and adherence to safety regulations, as many are reactive intermediates. Global demand is tied to the manufacturing output of downstream industries.

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).
