HS Code 2930.10 – Organo-sulphur compounds; 2-(N,N-Diethylamino) ethanethiol
HS code 2930.10 is the 6-digit subheading for organo-sulphur compounds, 2-(N,N-Diethylamino) ethanethiol. It is used for 2-(N,N-Diethylamino) ethanethiol hydrochloride, 2-(N,N-Diethylamino) ethanethiol base, diethylaminoethanethiol derivatives and pharmaceutical intermediates containing this compound.
What HS 2930.10 covers
This specific HS code is dedicated solely to 2-(N,N-Diethylamino) ethanethiol, an organo-sulphur compound. This chemical is a crucial intermediate, primarily used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly those with anticholinergic or antispasmodic properties. It also finds applications in the production of certain agrochemicals and specialty chemicals where its specific chemical reactivity is required. Due to its specialized use, the trade in this compound is often driven by the pharmaceutical industry's demand. Major importers are typically countries with strong pharmaceutical manufacturing bases, such as India, China, the United States, and European nations. Exporters are often specialized chemical synthesis companies, with significant production capabilities in China and India. Key aspects of trading this compound include ensuring high purity, consistent quality, and adherence to strict regulatory standards, especially for pharmaceutical-grade applications. Its handling requires careful attention due to its characteristic thiol odor and potential toxicity.

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).
