Last updated: August 2026 dataAnthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid) is a key building block for indigo dyes, saccharin, and certain pharmaceutical intermediates, and its salts find use in corrosion inhibitors and fragrance synthesis. The US schedule provides two 10-digit lines — a general line (2922430000) and a NESOI line (2922435000) — with classification depending on whether the product falls within a specific US Note 3, Section VI designation. China and India together account for the bulk of US import supply, and Chinese-origin aromatic amino-acid compounds in this heading may be subject to Section 301 tariffs.

Anthranilic acid is consumed by dye manufacturers (particularly for indigo and azo dyes), fragrance producers, and pharmaceutical intermediate makers. Unlike some other amino-acid headings, the US lines under 292243 do not subdivide by end use — classification turns instead on the US Note 3, Section VI designation rather than the buyer's intended application.
The distinction hinges on whether the specific product is enumerated in US Note 3 to Section VI of the HTS. Importers should cross-reference the product's CAS number against the Note 3 list; if listed, 2922430000 applies, and if not, the NESOI line 2922435000 is the correct classification. A licensed customs broker with chemical expertise can assist with this determination.
