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.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2921.49.50.00Lower: 31.5% vs 41.5%

If derived from other aromatic monoamines

Non-toluidine aromatic amines classify under residual 2921.49; toluidines specifically named.

2933.39.61Lower: 6.5% vs 41.5%

If heterocyclic nitrogen ring present

Heterocyclic amines shift to Chapter 29 subchapter III; toluidines are purely aromatic carbocyclic.

2940.00.60.00Lower: 30.8% vs 41.5%

If sugar-modified toluidine derivative

Sugar ethers/esters of amines classify in 2940 per Chapter Note (c).

Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Declare exact salt stoichiometry and water content; excess moisture may trigger 2915 classification

โ€ข Include REACH/TSCA registration numbers; toluidine salts face carcinogen scrutiny

โ€ข Label packages 'Toxic substance' per DOT/IATA for hazardous material transport compliance

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.

m-Toluidine (3-Methylaniline)

m-Toluidine, or 3-methylaniline, is a meta-substituted toluidine used as an intermediate in agrochemical production. It qualifies under HTS 2921.43.90 as an 'other' toluidine derivative not covered by more specific subheadings. The methyl group distinguishes it from aniline (2921.42).

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.
