About HS Code 293349
This HS code encompasses "other" heterocyclic compounds containing a quinoline or isoquinoline ring-system, excluding levorphanol and its salts. This category is broad, covering a variety of chemical compounds that serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), intermediates for drug synthesis, or specialty chemicals for other industrial applications. Importers and exporters include pharmaceutical manufacturers, fine chemical producers, and research laboratories globally. Key things to know are the diverse applications of these compounds, ranging from antimalarials and anti-infectives to dyes and photographic chemicals. While not as strictly controlled as levorphanol, some compounds within this category may still be subject to specific national regulations due to their pharmacological activity or precursor potential. Accurate chemical identification is essential to ensure proper classification and compliance with any relevant trade restrictions.
Products Under This Code
Chloroquine, Quinine, Mefloquine, Primaquine, Quinoline, Isoquinoline, 8-Hydroxyquinoline, Ciprofloxacin
Real World Examples
Aralen (Chloroquine), Lariam (Mefloquine), Quinine Sulfate tablets, Cipro (Ciprofloxacin)
Common Misclassification
This "other" category is often confused with more specific quinoline/isoquinoline derivatives if their exact chemical name is known, potentially leading to misclassification instead of a more precise HS code within Chapter 29.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Major trading nations include pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs like India, China, Germany, and the USA, due to the diverse applications of these compounds.
