Heading 2921

Amine-function compounds

76 declarable lines

Heading 2921 covers amine-function compounds. It is split first by structure into acyclic monoamines, acyclic polyamines, cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic amines, aromatic monoamines and aromatic polyamines, then by named compounds or Other lines.

Products in this heading

  • Methylamine and dimethylamine
  • Ethylenediamine
  • Hexamethylenediamine
  • Aniline
  • N,N-Dimethylaniline
  • Diphenylamine
  • Toluene-2,4-diamine

How to choose the right subheading

  • Check whether the amine is acyclic or cyclic, including cyclanic, cyclenic, cycloterpenic or aromatic.
  • Separate monoamines from polyamines within the acyclic, aromatic and other structural groups.
  • Check for a specific named compound line before using an Other line.
  • Confirm whether the item is the amine itself, a salt, or a derivative, because the heading includes derivatives and salts.
  • For aromatic compounds, decide whether the product is an aromatic monoamine or an aromatic polyamine.
