Lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids, whether or not chemically defined

HS v2022 Code: 292320

About lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids, whether or not chemically defined

HS code 292320 covers the import and export of lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids, which are a class of lipids found in living organisms. These compounds play a crucial role in the structure and function of cell membranes, and have a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. As a key component of the global trade in organic chemicals, the 292320 industry is an important part of the broader economy.

Production process

Lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids are typically produced through the extraction and purification of natural sources, such as egg yolks, soybeans, or other plant and animal tissues. The main production steps involve oil extraction, degumming, and further refining and fractionation processes to isolate the desired phospholipid compounds.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 292320 industry include raw materials such as oilseeds, animal fats, and other lipid-rich sources. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment for extraction, separation, and purification processes, as well as various chemical reagents and solvents used in the refining stages.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the 292320 industry are lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids, which find applications in a variety of sectors. These compounds are used as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and functional ingredients in 190190 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, 300490 Medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, and 330499 Cosmetic and toilet preparations not elsewhere specified or included. The 292320 industry also produces intermediate products that may be further processed or incorporated into other 290000 Organic chemicals and 380000 Miscellaneous chemical products.
