HS Code 2930.60 – Organo-sulphur compounds; 2-(N,N-Diethylamino)ethanethiol
HS code 2930.60 is the 6-digit subheading for organo-sulphur compounds, 2-(N,N-Diethylamino)ethanethiol. It is used for 2-(N,N-Diethylamino)ethanethiol, diethylaminoethanethiol, DEAE-thiol and 2-(Diethylamino)ethanethiol hydrochloride.
What HS 2930.60 covers
This HS code specifically identifies 2-(N,N-Diethylamino)ethanethiol, a specialized organo-sulphur compound. This chemical serves predominantly as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. It is traded by fine chemical manufacturers and companies engaged in the research and development or production of complex organic molecules. The compound's reactive thiol group and amine functionality make it a versatile building block, but also necessitate careful handling and storage due to its chemical properties and potential for odor.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
