HS Code 2921Amine-function compounds
18 six-digit codes · Heading 21 of 42 in Chapter 29 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2921 covers amine-function compounds, a group of organic chemicals that includes methylamine, ethylenediamine and aniline. Use this page to find the right six-digit code for your amine.
Heading 2921 is finely cut: 18 six-digit codes, 292111 to 292159, all of them under “Amine-function compounds”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 21 of 42 in Chapter 29, Organic chemicals, which runs to 410 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 2921 covers and how it is split
An amine is an organic compound built around a nitrogen group. Heading 2921, also searched as HSN code 2921, holds amines whose main feature is that amine group. The codes under it are sorted by the shape of the molecule and by how many amine groups it has.
The long descriptions in the table can be hard to read. In plain words, the heading falls into five groups:
- Acyclic monoamines, 292111 to 292119: open-chain amines with one amine group, such as methylamine.
- Acyclic polyamines, 292121 to 292129: open-chain amines with two or more amine groups, such as ethylenediamine.
- Cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic amines, 292130: ring-shaped amines that are not aromatic, all in one code.
- Aromatic monoamines, 292141 to 292149: amines with one amine group attached to an aromatic ring, such as aniline.
- Aromatic polyamines, 292151 and 292159: aromatic amines with more than one amine group, such as phenylenediamines.
HS code for aniline, ethylenediamine and other common amines
Most buyers search by product name, not by code. These are the amines people look up most often, matched to the code that names them.
- Methylamine, dimethylamine and trimethylamine: 292111.
- Ethylenediamine and its salts: 292121.
- Hexamethylenediamine and its salts: 292122.
- Aniline and its salts: 292141. Aniline derivatives go to 292142.
- Toluidines and their derivatives: 292143.
- Diphenylamine and its derivatives: 292144.
- Amfetamine and a short list of named related substances: 292146.
How to pick the right code: 2921 vs 2922, 2923 and 2929
Start with the main chemical function of your product. If it is an amine, heading 2921 is the place to look. If the molecule also carries an oxygen function, it belongs under oxygen-function amino-compounds in heading 2922. Quaternary ammonium salts go to heading 2923, and amide compounds go to heading 2924.
Next, read the exact wording of the six-digit code. If your amine is not named, use the catch-all code for its group: 292119, 292129, 292149 or 292159. The letters n.e.c. in those descriptions mean not elsewhere classified. Before you choose a catch-all, check that no named code fits. Nitrogen compounds that fit no heading in this chapter are placed in heading 2929.
Heading 2904 is a different case. It covers nitrated and sulphonated derivatives of hydrocarbons, which are not amines.
Each country adds longer national tariff lines on top of the six-digit code. If you are unsure which code applies, the HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.

HS Code 2921: common questions
What is the HS code for aniline?
Aniline and its salts are classified under 292141. Aniline derivatives and their salts have their own code, 292142.
What is the HS code for ethylenediamine?
Ethylenediamine and its salts fall under 292121. Hexamethylenediamine is a different product with its own code, 292122.
What is the difference between HS 2921 and 2922?
Heading 2922 is for oxygen-function amino-compounds, where the molecule also has an oxygen group.
Where do amines not listed by name go?
Use the catch-all code for the right group: 292119, 292129, 292149 or 292159. Use these only when no named code fits.
What is the HS code for toluidines or diphenylamine?
Toluidines and their derivatives are in 292143. Diphenylamine and its derivatives are in 292144.
