HS Code 2922.43 – Amino-acids, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, and their esters; anthranilic acid and its esters; salts thereof
HS code 2922.43 is the 6-digit subheading for amino-acids, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, and their esters, anthranilic acid and its esters, salts thereof. It is used for anthranilic Acid, methyl Anthranilate, ethyl Anthranilate, sodium Anthranilate and anthranilic Acid Hydrochloride.
What HS 2922.43 covers
This HS code specifically covers anthranilic acid, its esters, and salts, provided they do not contain more than one type of oxygen function. Anthranilic acid is a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of a wide range of organic compounds, particularly dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. It is also a precursor for indigo dye and certain pesticides. In international trade, importers are typically chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and fragrance houses seeking this versatile building block for their production processes. Exporters are often countries with well-developed fine chemical industries capable of synthesizing complex organic intermediates. Key aspects of trade include ensuring high purity, managing potential regulatory restrictions due to its use in certain controlled substances (though anthranilic acid itself is not typically controlled), and handling its sometimes sensitive chemical properties. The demand for anthranilic acid is driven by innovation in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods sectors, making it a valuable commodity in specialty chemical markets.

Codes often confused with 2922.43
Common mistake. This code is specific to anthranilic acid, distinguishing it from other amino acids in 292249. Confusion can arise with other aromatic amines or carboxylic acids if the specific amino acid structure is not clearly identified, or if it contains multiple oxygen functions, potentially leading to 292250.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 292243, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 292243 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 71% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 31% 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).
