Imides and their derivatives; saccharin and its salts

HS v2017 Code: 292511

About imides and their derivatives; saccharin and its salts

HS code 292511 covers a diverse range of organic compounds known as imides and their derivatives, as well as the artificial sweetener saccharin and its salts. These substances play a crucial role in various industries, from pharmaceuticals and personal care products to food additives and industrial applications. As an important segment of the broader organic chemicals industry, the production and trade of these materials contribute significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of imides and their derivatives typically involves chemical synthesis processes, often starting from various organic precursors. The specific techniques may vary depending on the target compound, but generally include steps such as condensation, cyclization, and functionalization reactions. Saccharin, on the other hand, is commonly produced through the sulfonation of o-toluene sulfonamide, followed by further chemical modifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of imides, their derivatives, and saccharin include a range of organic chemicals, such as 290110 Acyclic hydrocarbons, 290240 Aromatic hydrocarbons, and various nitrogen-containing compounds. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, as well as energy sources, are necessary for the chemical synthesis and purification processes involved.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 292511 are diverse and find applications in numerous industries. Imides and their derivatives are used in the production of 300490 Medicaments, 330499 Beauty or make-up preparations, and 380820 Fungicides, among other products. Saccharin and its salts are primarily used as 210690 Food preparations, particularly as artificial sweeteners in various food and beverage items.
