Last updated: July 2026 dataPiperidine is a saturated six-membered nitrogen heterocycle that serves as a key scaffold in pharmaceutical synthesis and as a chemical intermediate for rubber accelerators and specialty agrochemicals. The US schedule separates piperidine itself (2933321000) from other salts and derivatives (2933325000), a distinction that matters when the imported form is a hydrochloride or other salt rather than the free base. Italy leads US supply under this heading, followed by China and Canada. Because piperidine is a DEA List I chemical precursor, importers must hold the appropriate DEA registration and import permit regardless of the commercial end-use.

Piperidine is classified as a DEA List I chemical because it is a recognized precursor in the illicit synthesis of phencyclidine (PCP). Any importer must obtain a DEA registration and file an import declaration (DEA Form 486) before each shipment, regardless of the stated industrial or pharmaceutical end-use.
The US schedule provides a dedicated line for piperidine (2933321000) and a separate NESOI line (2933325000) for piperidine salts and other forms. Importers should confirm the chemical form — free base versus hydrochloride, acetate, or other salt — before filing entry, as misclassification between these two lines can trigger a CF-28 request or penalty.
