p-Aminosalicylic Acid (PAS)
p-Aminosalicylic acid features amino and single phenolic hydroxy with additional carboxylic acid, but classifies as oxygen-function amino-compound under 2922.29 'other'. Used as anti-tuberculosis pharmaceutical intermediate. Single phenolic oxygen function distinguishes it.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carboxylic acid function predominates over phenolic oxygen-amino
Carboxylic acids with phenolic groups classify later in numerical order per note 3.
If antibiotic derivative rather than chemical intermediate
Antibiotics like PAS salts move to 2941 per chapter exclusions.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include FDA import alert check; pharma intermediates require drug master file references despite bulk chemical status
• Test for optical purity if chiral; racemic mixtures stay in 2922 but enantiopure may face 2941 scrutiny
• Avoid emetic additives unless solely for safety ID (note g); pharma use could reclassify

4-Aminophenol
4-Aminophenol is a chemically defined organic compound featuring both amino (-NH2) and hydroxy (-OH) groups attached to a benzene ring, classifying it as an oxygen-function amino-compound under heading 2922. It contains only one type of oxygen function (phenol) and no additional oxygen groups. Commonly used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and dye production.
2-Aminophenol (o-Aminophenol)
2-Aminophenol is an amino-phenol with ortho-positioned amino and hydroxy groups on benzene, fitting HTS 2922.29 as an oxygen-function amino-compound with single oxygen function. Used primarily as a dye intermediate and in rubber antioxidants. Its structure excludes it from multi-oxygen function categories.
Metanilic Acid (3-Aminobenzenesulfonic Acid)
Though containing sulfonic acid, metanilic acid classifies here as an amino-phenol derivative not qualifying as sulfonated under exclusion notes, with primary oxygen amino-function. It's a key intermediate for azo dyes. Falls under 'other' amino-phenols per hierarchy.
2-Amino-4-chlorophenol
This halogenated amino-phenol contains chloro substituent but retains single oxygen function classification under 2922.29 per notes on halogenated derivatives. Used in pesticide and dye synthesis. 'Other' category captures such substituted phenols.
N-(4-Aminophenyl)acetamide (p-Aminoacetanilide)
p-Aminoacetanilide is an N-acetylated amino-phenol ether equivalent, with single oxygen function in acetamido group classifying under 2922.29.81.90. Intermediate for paracetamol and dyes. Acetyl doesn't constitute additional oxygen function.
