HS Code for Tilidine

Tilidine is an organic chemical compound classified under HS code 2922.44. This classification is based on its chemical structure as an amino-acid containing only one kind of oxygen function (the carboxylic group and its esters). Specifically, Tilidine (INN) and its esters and salts are explicitly named in the 2922.44 subheading. As a synthetic opioid analgesic, it falls under Chapter 29, which covers organic chemicals. The classification follows the rules for oxygen-function amino-compounds. Because Tilidine is a defined chemical individual, it is placed in Chapter 29 rather than Chapter 30, provided it is not yet prepared as a medicament in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale. The inclusion of the (INN) designation in the HS description indicates that this code is internationally standardized for this specific pharmaceutical substance to facilitate monitoring and control of trade.

Common Misclassification

Tilidine is frequently misclassified under HS code 3004.90, which covers medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic uses, put up in measured doses. If the Tilidine is in the form of tablets, capsules, or drops ready for patient use, 3004.90 is correct; however, the bulk chemical substance must be in 2922.44. It is also sometimes confused with 2922.49, the residual category for other amino-acids, but since Tilidine is specifically named in 2922.44, that code takes precedence.
