Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Submit isomer-specific GC-MS certificates; mixtures of toluidine isomers may classify as 3824

โ€ข Confirm <0.1% o/p-toluidine content due to IARC Group 1 carcinogen status

โ€ข Use UN-approved packaging for corrosive liquid forms (UN170x)

Related Products under HTS 2921.43.90

p-Toluidine

p-Toluidine, also known as 4-methylaniline, is an aromatic monoamine derivative with the chemical formula C7H9N. It falls under HTS 2921.43.90 as a toluidine (methyl-substituted aniline) that is not specifically listed elsewhere in the subheading for toluidines and their salts. Commonly used in dye synthesis and as a chemical intermediate.

o-Toluidine Hydrochloride

o-Toluidine hydrochloride is the salt form of 2-methylaniline, a toluidine derivative used in pharmaceutical synthesis. Classified under HTS 2921.43.90 per Chapter Note (C)(1) as the salt retains classification of the parent aromatic monoamine. The hydrochloride improves handling and solubility for industrial applications.

N-Ethyl-o-Toluidine

N-Ethyl-o-toluidine is an N-alkylated derivative of o-toluidine used in rubber accelerator production. It remains classified under HTS 2921.43.90 as a toluidine derivative; N-substitution doesn't change the principal aromatic monoamine characteristic. Purity >98% ensures Chapter 29 applicability.

4-Chloro-o-Toluidine

4-Chloro-o-toluidine is a halogenated toluidine derivative used in azo pigment synthesis. Classified in HTS 2921.43.90 as Chapter Notes confirm halogenated derivatives remain with parent amine classification. The dual substitution maintains toluidine identity.

Toluidine Blue O (Basic Blue 17)

Toluidine Blue O is a thiazine dye derived from toluidine, used in histology and microbiology staining. While primarily a colorant, its toluidine base and chemical purity qualify it under HTS 2921.43.90 rather than Chapter 32 when imported as pure compound. Pharmaceutical grade requires >85% purity.

Acetyl-p-Toluidine

Acetyl-p-toluidine (N-(4-methylphenyl)acetamide) is an acetylated toluidine used as a dye intermediate and analgesic precursor. The principal amine-function characteristic governs classification under HTS 2921.43.90 despite acetylation; oxygen-function subordinate per Chapter Notes.
