About HS Code 292244
This HS code is highly specific, covering tilidine (INN), a synthetic opioid analgesic, along with its esters and salts, provided they do not contain more than one type of oxygen function. Due to its pharmacological properties as a potent pain reliever, tilidine is a controlled substance in many countries, subject to strict international and national regulations concerning its manufacture, trade, and distribution. In international trade, importers are exclusively pharmaceutical companies or authorized distributors in countries where tilidine is approved for medical use. Exporters are typically pharmaceutical manufacturers holding licenses for controlled substances. Key considerations for trade are paramount: stringent regulatory compliance, secure transportation, detailed documentation, and adherence to quotas and international conventions like the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. The trade volume is tightly controlled and driven solely by medical demand for pain management, making it a highly specialized and regulated segment of the chemical trade with limited global players.
Products Under This Code
Tilidine Hydrochloride, Tilidine Phosphate, Tilidine Base, Tilidine Ethyl Ester, Tilidine Methyl Ester
Real World Examples
Valoron N (Tilidine/Naloxone), Tilidin STADA, Tilidin AL, Tilidin Hexal
Common Misclassification
This code is very specific to tilidine, making misclassification with other amino acids in 292249 unlikely, unless the substance is incorrectly identified. It could be confused with other opioid analgesics under different HS codes if the chemical structure is not precisely verified.
Products Classified Under 2922.44
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and South Africa are among the primary countries where tilidine is medically prescribed and thus traded, under strict controls.
