SITCSection 5
U.S. imports of amino-alcohols, their ethers & esters (single oxygen function) and salts (SITC 51461) totaled $20.6M in April 2026, traded with 26 countries.
Importers of Amino-Alcohols, Their Ethers & Esters (Single Oxygen Function) and Salts paid $750K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 4.2% on $18.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAmino-alcohols bearing a single type of oxygen function — such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine — are widely traded industrial chemicals serving as gas-treating solvents (CO₂ and H₂S removal), surfactant feedstocks, cement grinding aids, and personal care formulation bases. The restriction to compounds containing no more than one kind of oxygen function is the key classification boundary: a compound with both hydroxyl and ether linkages, for example, may fall outside this heading. Ethanolamine derivatives sourced from certain origins have faced Section 301 scrutiny, making origin verification a routine compliance step.

This phrase means the molecule may have multiple oxygen atoms, but they must all be of the same functional type — for example, all hydroxyl groups (as in triethanolamine) or all ether linkages, but not a mix of both. A compound with both a hydroxyl and an ether group would be classified elsewhere, typically under a heading for compounds with multiple oxygen functions.
Yes. Monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) — the primary solvents in amine gas-treating units — are amino-alcohols with a single oxygen-function type and fall within this heading. Importers supplying refineries or gas processors should confirm the exact amine grade and purity specification, as these can affect both classification and pricing.
