Last updated: August 2026 dataAniline is a high-volume aromatic amine that serves as the primary feedstock for MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate), the building block of polyurethane foams and insulation, making it a bellwether chemical for construction and automotive sectors. Belgium is the leading supplier of aniline to the US, with Portugal and India also significant sources. The US schedule resolves to two lines — 2921410000 for the broader category and 2921411000 specifically for aniline itself — and importers should confirm TSCA compliance given aniline's status as a high-priority chemical under EPA review programs.

Aniline is designated a high-priority chemical under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and has been subject to EPA risk evaluation. Importers must file TSCA certifications at entry and should monitor any risk management rules that could impose use restrictions or reporting obligations on downstream customers.
Because aniline is the direct precursor to MDI, US import volumes track polyurethane production schedules closely. Demand spikes typically align with construction season and automotive model-year changeovers, making forward contracting and inventory management critical for buyers.
