Triethanolamine Hydrochloride from Germany

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.

Import Tips

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
