U.S. imports of nitrogen heteroatom heterocyclic compounds (other) (HS 293399) totaled $130.5M in July 2026, traded with 40 countries.
Importers of Nitrogen Heteroatom Heterocyclic Compounds (Other) paid $3.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 7.3% on $44.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataClassified as the catch-all for nitrogen-only heterocyclic compounds not enumerated elsewhere in Chapter 29, this heading encompasses an exceptionally broad range of chemicals: pharmaceutical actives spanning cardiovascular drugs (2933995300), analgesics (2933995500, 2933995590), antidepressants and tranquilizers (2933996100), anticonvulsants and sedatives (2933996500), and central nervous system drugs (2933997000); agrochemical pesticides (2933992200, 2933992352); photographic chemicals (2933992400); and industrial intermediates such as benzotriazole (2933998210) and tolyltriazole (2933998220), the latter widely used as metal corrosion inhibitors in cooling systems and aviation fluids. The heading's depth — over 30 active 10-digit lines — means classification requires precise identification of the compound's ring system, aromatic character, and primary commercial function. Pharmaceutical imports are subject to FDA admissibility review; pesticide-use compounds require EPA registration confirmation at entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency before importing pharmaceutical or pesticide-classified compounds under this heading.

Benzotriazole (CAS 95-14-7, subheading 2933998210) and tolyltriazole (CAS 29385-43-1, subheading 2933998220) are classified as aromatic or modified-aromatic industrial compounds, not as drugs. They are used primarily as metal corrosion inhibitors and UV stabilizers. Pharmaceutical actives in the same heading are classified under drug-specific subheadings (e.g., 2933995300 for cardiovascular drugs) based on their primary therapeutic use, not their ring structure alone.
The US schedule enumerates clozapine, droperidol, and imipramine hydrochloride by name at 2933995800, separating them from the general antidepressants/tranquilizers NESOI line (2933996100). Named enumeration typically signals higher trade volume or policy significance for those specific molecules. Importers must match the exact INN or chemical name of their product to determine whether it falls in the named subheading or the residual NESOI line.
