HS v2022 Code: 293331

About heterocyclic compounds; containing an unfused pyridine ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, pyridine and its salts

HS code 293331 covers a range of heterocyclic compounds that contain an unfused pyridine ring, either hydrogenated or not. These compounds are widely used in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, playing a crucial role in the production of various drugs, pesticides, and other high-value products. The global market for these heterocyclic compounds is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from end-use industries and ongoing research and development efforts.

Production process

The production of heterocyclic compounds under HS code 293331 typically involves a series of chemical synthesis steps. The most common method is the condensation of appropriate starting materials, such as pyridine derivatives, with other reagents to form the desired heterocyclic structure. Catalysts, solvents, and other reaction conditions are carefully controlled to optimize yield and purity. Purification techniques, such as distillation, crystallization, or column chromatography, are often employed to ensure the final product meets the required specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 293331 compounds include various pyridine derivatives, such as 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine, and 4-aminopyridine, as well as other organic chemicals and reagents. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy, and water resources are necessary to support the production activities.

Production outputs

The heterocyclic compounds covered under HS code 293331 are used as intermediates and building blocks in the synthesis of a wide range of pharmaceutical products, including 300210 Medicaments - containing antibiotics, 300220 Medicaments - containing hormones, and 300290 Medicaments - n.e.c. in heading no. 3002. These compounds are also utilized in the production of 380810 Insecticides, 380820 Fungicides, and other agrochemicals classified under HS code 3808 Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products.
