Acetophenetidin (Phenacetin) Powder
Pure acetophenetidin, also known as phenacetin, is a chemically defined aromatic amide compound used historically as an analgesic and antipyretic drug. It falls under HTS 2924.29.62.20 as a cyclic amide derivative that is aromatic and classified specifically as the drug acetophenetidin. This white crystalline powder is supplied in bulk for pharmaceutical research or synthesis.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as a bulk non-drug aromatic cyclic amide
Excludes specific drug listings like acetophenetidin; classified under general 'other' aromatic amides without drug status.
If formulated into tablets or capsules for retail sale
Medicaments in dosage form shift to Chapter 30, excluding bulk chemicals of Chapter 29.
If containing organo-sulfur impurities affecting classification
Organo-sulfur compounds take precedence if sulfur is directly linked to carbon, per Chapter 29 notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify DEA scheduling as phenacetin is banned for human use in the US; obtain FDA import alerts clearance
• Provide chemical purity certificates and SDS for customs
• Avoid misdeclaration as general chemical to prevent seizure
