Anthranilic Acid
Anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid) is a primary aromatic amino acid with a single carboxylic acid oxygen function, classified under HTS 2922.43.5000 as 'other' anthranilic acid and its salts. It serves as a key intermediate in synthesizing dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains additional oxygen functions like hydroxyl groups
Compounds with more than one kind of oxygen function (e.g., hydroxybenzoic acids) classify under 2924 per chapter notes.
If when imported as heterocyclic derivative or analog
Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom take precedence over amino-acid classification (chapter note on numerical order).
If imported as mixture or technical grade with impurities >2%
Preparations/mixtures not meeting 'chemically defined' criteria in chapter note (a) fall under Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate (typically 98-99%) and CAS 118-92-3 to confirm classification as chemically defined organic compound under Chapter 29
• Include safety data sheet (SDS) showing it's not for retail sale or mixed with excluded substances like coloring matter (Chapter 32)
• Avoid misclassification as multi-oxygen function amino acid (2924) by documenting single carboxylic group structure
