Ethanolamine (2-Aminoethanol)
Ethanolamine is a primary amino alcohol with the formula HOCH2CH2NH2, featuring both hydroxyl and amino functional groups on adjacent carbons. It qualifies under HTS 2922.50.50.00 as an amino-compound with oxygen function (alcohol group). Used primarily in surfactants, detergents, and as a chemical intermediate.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing an imino (-NH-) group rather than true amino
Imino alcohols classified under heading 2924, which occurs later in numerical order per chapter note on classification priority.
If imported as aqueous solution exceeding transport solvent limits
Solutions in solvents beyond safety/transport exceptions fall under mixtures of Chapter 38, not pure compounds of Chapter 29.
If marketed solely as alcohol without emphasizing amino function
Pure alcohols without nitrogen functions classified in heading 2905; amino group determines Chapter 29 oxygen-function amino-compounds priority.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity levels and provide chemical analysis certificates to confirm classification as a chemically defined compound under Chapter 29
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and proper UN shipping documentation for hazardous classification during transport
• Avoid misclassification as mixtures; ensure product meets 'separate chemically defined organic compound' criteria from chapter notes
