HS Code 2933.19 – Heterocyclic compounds; with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only, containing an unfused pyrazole ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, other than henazone (antipyrin) and its derivatives

HS code 2933.19 is the 6-digit subheading for heterocyclic compounds, with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only, containing an unfused pyrazole ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, other than henazone (antipyrin) and its derivatives. It is used for phenylbutazone, celecoxib (active ingredient), fipronil (active ingredient), specific pyrazole-based ligands and pyrazole carboxylic acids.

What HS 2933.19 covers

This 'other' category encompasses a diverse range of heterocyclic compounds containing only nitrogen hetero-atoms and an unfused pyrazole ring, excluding phenazone and its derivatives. These compounds are crucial intermediates and active ingredients across various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. They serve as building blocks for complex drug molecules, pesticides, and dyes, leveraging the unique properties conferred by the pyrazole ring structure. Importers and exporters are typically chemical synthesis companies, pharmaceutical research and development firms, and agricultural chemical producers. Trade involves both bulk raw materials and highly purified intermediates, reflecting their broad utility in advanced chemical manufacturing and drug discovery.

Codes often confused with 2933.19

Common mistake. May be confused with other nitrogen heterocyclics (e.g., 293399) or even other drug categories (e.g., 3004) if not in bulk form, but the specific unfused pyrazole structure is the defining characteristic.

Top exporters and importers of HS code 293319, 2025

In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 293319 in UN Comtrade data was Ireland, with 37% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Portugal, with 35% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).

What products fall under HS code 293319?

Phenylbutazone, Celecoxib (active ingredient), Fipronil (active ingredient), specific pyrazole-based ligands, pyrazole carboxylic acids

What are common misclassifications for HS code 293319?

May be confused with other nitrogen heterocyclics (e.g., 293399) or even other drug categories (e.g., 3004) if not in bulk form, but the specific unfused pyrazole structure is the defining characteristic.

Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 293319?

In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 293319 in UN Comtrade data were Ireland ($2.7B, 37% of world exports), Switzerland ($2.6B) and Germany ($783M). World exports came to about $7.5B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
