2921.42.90.00 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 2921.42.90.00, covers "Other" aromatic monoamines and their derivatives, and salts thereof, which are aniline derivatives. These are organic compounds characterized by an amino group (-NH2) attached to an aromatic ring, specifically derivatives of aniline (aminobenzene). This broad category serves as a residual classification for aniline derivatives not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings, encompassing a wide array of chemical substances that share the fundamental aromatic amine structure.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2921.42.65.00, is crucial. While 2921.42.65.00 is reserved for products explicitly described by additional U.S. note 3 to section VI, this "Other" category captures all other aniline derivatives that do not meet that specific note's criteria. Therefore, the primary distinction lies in whether a particular aniline derivative falls under the special provisions of the additional U.S. note or is to be classified based on its general chemical structure as an aniline derivative not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level signifies that the goods are definitively identified as aniline derivatives but do not fit into any more specific enumerated subheadings. Practical classification relies on a thorough understanding of the chemical structure and properties of the substance, ensuring it meets the definition of an aromatic monoamine, a derivative of aniline, and is not specifically provided for elsewhere in the tariff schedule. Examples might include certain substituted anilines used as intermediates in dye, pharmaceutical, or pesticide production, where their unique structure doesn't align with more specialized listings.
