Import Tips & Compliance
• Dimethylamine hydrochloride is typically a solid; classify it under the correct HS code and ensure the commercial invoice states the chemical name and CAS number
• If the product is for use in food or feed applications, check whether it meets Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) requirements
• Keep a certificate of analysis to confirm purity for customs valuation

Dimethylamine Anhydrous
Anhydrous dimethylamine is the pure gaseous form of dimethylamine, a simple acyclic monoamine. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound of heading 29.21, and being anhydrous, it contains no added solvent or stabilizer. It is directly classifiable under tariff item 2921.11.00 as dimethylamine.
Dimethylamine Sulfate
Dimethylamine sulfate is a salt of dimethylamine with sulfuric acid, used in dye intermediates and as a stabilizer. As a salt of a simple acyclic monoamine, it falls under heading 29.21 and specifically under tariff item 2921.11.00 as a salt of dimethylamine. The presence of the sulfate anion does not change the classification, as inorganic salts of organic bases are classified with the organic compound.
Methylamine (40% Aqueous Solution)
Methylamine 40% in water is a standard aqueous solution of methylamine, a simple acyclic monoamine. Under Chapter Note 1(d) of Chapter 29, products of heading 29.21 dissolved in water are classifiable in the chapter. Therefore, this solution falls under tariff item 2921.11.00 as methylamine, provided the water is the only solvent and the solution is a normal method of transport.
Methylamine Stabilized with Ammonia
Methylamine stabilized with ammonia is a solution of methylamine containing ammonia as a stabilizer to prevent corrosion during transport. Under Chapter Note 1(f) of Chapter 29, products of heading 29.21 with an added stabilizer necessary for preservation or transport are classifiable in the chapter. Therefore, this product falls under tariff item 2921.11.00 as methylamine, provided the ammonia does not render it particularly suitable for a specific use.
