Heading 2924

Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid

47 declarable lines

Heading 2924 covers carboxyamide-function compounds and amide-function compounds of carbonic acid, which are nitrogen compounds built around an amide group. It splits first into acyclic amides (2924.11 through 2924.19) and cyclic amides (2924.21 through 2924.29). Within each side, specific named chemicals such as meprobamate, alachlor, ethinamate and acetaminophen get their own lines, and residual lines pick up everything else, usually at 6.5%.

Products in this heading

  • Acetaminophen (paracetamol)
  • Lidocaine (diethylaminoacetoxylidide)
  • Aspartame
  • Acrylamide
  • Dimethylformamide
  • Acetanilide
  • Alachlor
  • Naphthol AS dye derivatives

How to choose the right subheading

  • Whether the amide group sits on an open chain (acyclic) or on a ring (cyclic), which sends you to 2924.11-2924.19 or 2924.21-2924.29.
  • Whether the compound is specifically named in a tariff line, which always beats a residual Other line.
  • Whether the compound is aromatic or not, since the cyclic amide subheadings split on that basis.
  • The end use stated for the goods, for example pesticide, drug, or dye intermediate, because separate lines exist for those uses.
  • Whether the product is a ureine, a 2-acetamidobenzoic acid, or another cyclic amide type that has its own subheading.

Often confused with

  • Aniline and other amine-function compounds

    An amine is classified by its amine function, not by an amide group.

    Heading 2921
  • Acrylonitrile

    A nitrile-function compound, not an amide.

    Heading 2926
  • Saccharin and its salts

    Carboxyimide-function compounds sit in heading 2925.

    Heading 2925
  • Glycine and other amino acids

    Oxygen-function amino-compounds are covered by heading 2922.

    Heading 2922
  • Benzoic acid and its salts

    A cyclic monocarboxylic acid without an amide group.

Frequently asked questions

What is the HTS code for acetaminophen?

Acetaminophen falls under 2924.29.62.10, with a general (MFN) rate of 6.5%.

What is the duty on lidocaine?

Lidocaine (diethylaminoacetoxylidide) is classified in 2924.29.57.00 and the general (MFN) rate is Free.

How do I classify acrylamide?

Acrylamide is an acyclic amide, so it goes in 2924.19.11.10 at a general (MFN) rate of 3.7%.
