U.S. imports of amino-naphthols, amino-phenols, their ethers & esters (single oxygen function) and salts (SITC 51462) totaled $9.3M in April 2026, traded with 12 countries.
Importers of Amino-Naphthols, Amino-Phenols, Their Ethers & Esters (Single Oxygen Function) and Salts paid $2.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 27% on $8.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAmino-naphthols and amino-phenols — aromatic compounds combining hydroxyl and amine functionality on naphthalene or benzene ring systems — are foundational intermediates for azo dyes, photographic developers, antioxidants, and pharmaceutical active ingredients. The single-oxygen-function restriction (no mixed ether/ester/hydroxyl combinations) is the critical classification boundary distinguishing this heading from broader amino-compound categories. Many members of this group, particularly naphthylamine derivatives, are subject to environmental and occupational health controls due to carcinogenicity concerns, which can affect import admissibility and downstream use documentation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Several naphthylamine and aminonaphthol derivatives are classified as known or suspected carcinogens and may be subject to TSCA reporting requirements, EPA import restrictions, or OSHA exposure standards. Importers should verify the specific compound's regulatory status under TSCA and confirm that the foreign manufacturer's documentation supports compliant use.
An amino-phenol ether — where the hydroxyl group has been converted to an ether linkage — still qualifies under this heading as long as only one type of oxygen function is present. However, if the compound also retains a free hydroxyl group alongside the ether, it would contain two kinds of oxygen function and would need to be classified under a different, more specific heading.
