Triethanolamine Hydrochloride
Triethanolamine hydrochloride is the salt formed by neutralizing triethanolamine (an amino-alcohol) with hydrochloric acid, resulting in a chemically defined organic compound with oxygen-function amino characteristics. It falls under HTS 2922.19.90.00 as a salt of triethanolamine, consistent with chapter notes classifying such salts with the parent organic compound. Commonly used as a pH buffer and corrosion inhibitor in industrial formulations.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing more than one oxygen function beyond amino-alcohol
Chapter notes classify compounds with multiple oxygen functions (e.g., additional ester groups) under later headings like 2924.
If for industrial mixtures diluted beyond chapter note limits
If dissolved in solvents exceeding 'normal transport' concentrations (note 1(e)), it shifts from pure compounds to Chapter 28 inorganic acid salts.
If sold as formulated cleaning preparation for retail
Mixtures put up for retail sale (e.g., with surfactants) fall under Chapter 38 per exclusions, not pure chemical salts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate (≥98%) and provide chemical analysis to confirm it's a triethanolamine salt per chapter 29 note 1(C)(1)
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and CAS number (637-57-0) for CBP classification; avoid misfiling under inorganic salts (Chapter 28)
• Label containers with UN number (NA 3077) for transport; common pitfall is improper stabilizer declaration rendering it non-general use
