About HS Code 293354

This HS code encompasses a specific group of heterocyclic compounds, primarily those containing a pyrimidine or piperazine ring, and derivatives of malonylurea (barbituric acid) and their salts, not specified elsewhere. These chemicals are crucial building blocks and intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for synthesizing drugs with various therapeutic applications, including sedatives, hypnotics, and antiepileptics. International trade in these compounds is driven by pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialty chemical producers, and research institutions globally. Key considerations for trade include stringent quality control, purity standards, and compliance with chemical safety regulations, as many are precursors to controlled substances or active pharmaceutical ingredients. The market is influenced by drug development pipelines and the demand for generic drug production.

Products Under This Code

Barbituric acid, Pyrimidine, Piperazine, 5,5-Diethylbarbituric acid, 2-Aminopyrimidine, N-Methylpiperazine, Malonylurea derivatives

Real World Examples

Phenobarbital (as a derivative), specific intermediates from BASF, Sigma-Aldrich research chemicals, TCI Chemicals pyrimidine derivatives

Common Misclassification

This code can be confused with 2933.59 (other pyrimidine or piperazine compounds) or 2933.53 (specific malonylurea derivatives), depending on the exact chemical structure and whether it's explicitly listed elsewhere.

Industry

This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.

Trade Overview

Major exporters include Germany and China, while significant importers are pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs like the USA and India.
