HS Code 2924.25 – Cyclic amides (including cyclic carbamates) and their derivatives; alachlor (ISO) and its salts
HS code 2924.25 is the 6-digit subheading for cyclic amides (including cyclic carbamates) and their derivatives, alachlor (ISO) and its salts. It is used for alachlor, carbaryl, piracetam, caprolactam and oxcarbazepine.
What HS 2924.25 covers
This HS code encompasses cyclic amides and cyclic carbamates, along with their derivatives, including the herbicide alachlor and its salts. These compounds are vital building blocks in the chemical industry, serving as intermediates for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. Key players in this trade include large chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and agricultural firms that either produce these compounds or use them in their formulations. International trade in these chemicals is driven by demand for new drugs, crop protection agents, and advanced materials, with a strong emphasis on purity, regulatory compliance, and specific isomeric forms for their intended applications.

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).
