HS Code 2924.23 – Cyclic amides (including cyclic carbamates) and their derivatives; 2-acetamidobenzoic acid (N-acetylanthranillic acid) and its salts
HS code 2924.23 is the 6-digit subheading for cyclic amides (including cyclic carbamates) and their derivatives, 2-acetamidobenzoic acid (N-acetylanthranillic acid) and its salts. It is used for 2-Acetamidobenzoic acid, N-Acetylanthranilic acid, pharmaceutical intermediate, fine chemical and dye intermediate.
What HS 2924.23 covers
This specific HS code is dedicated to 2-acetamidobenzoic acid, also known as N-acetylanthranilic acid, and its salts. This compound is a significant intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry. It serves as a precursor for the production of various drugs, including certain anti-inflammatory agents and other heterocyclic compounds. It also finds niche applications in the synthesis of dyes and pigments. International trade primarily involves pharmaceutical raw material suppliers, fine chemical manufacturers, and research laboratories. Importers are typically pharmaceutical companies and specialty chemical producers in countries with active drug development and manufacturing sectors. Exporters are often specialized chemical synthesis firms, particularly in regions known for their fine chemical production. Key considerations for trade include ensuring high purity for pharmaceutical applications, managing intellectual property related to its use in drug synthesis, and complying with chemical safety regulations. The market is specialized but crucial for certain pharmaceutical supply chains.

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).
