HS Code 2924.12 – Acyclic amides (including acyclic carbamates) and their derivatives; salts thereof; fluoroacetamide (ISO), monocrotophos (ISO) and phosphamidon (ISO)
HS code 2924.12 is the 6-digit subheading for acyclic amides (including acyclic carbamates) and their derivatives, salts thereof, fluoroacetamide (ISO), monocrotophos (ISO) and phosphamidon (ISO). It is used for fluoroacetamide, monocrotophos, phosphamidon, insecticide active ingredients and rodenticide raw materials.
What HS 2924.12 covers
This HS code groups together three specific acyclic amides: fluoroacetamide, monocrotophos, and phosphamidon. These compounds are primarily known for their use as pesticides, particularly insecticides, though fluoroacetamide also has rodenticidal properties. Due to their high toxicity and environmental concerns, their use and trade are heavily restricted or banned in many parts of the world. However, they are still traded as active ingredients for agricultural chemicals in regions where their use is permitted, often in developing countries. Importers are typically agricultural chemical formulators and distributors, while exporters are specialized chemical manufacturers. Key aspects of trade include navigating complex international conventions like the Rotterdam Convention, which governs prior informed consent for hazardous chemicals, ensuring compliance with national pesticide regulations, and managing the inherent risks associated with handling highly toxic substances. The trade volume is declining globally due to increasing environmental and health awareness.

Codes often confused with 2924.12
Common mistake. This code might be confused with other acyclic amides used as pesticides under 292419 if the specific ISO names are not recognized, or with formulated pesticide products in Chapter 38 (e.g., 380891 for insecticides).
Top exporters and importers of HS code 292412, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 292412 in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 83% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was France, with 64% of world imports.

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).
