Overview
This HTS classification covers a diverse range of aromatic polyamines and their derivatives, specifically those not enumerated in preceding subheadings within 2921.59. The listed substances include 4,4'-Benzidine-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 1,4-Diaminobenzene-2-sulfonic acid, and various methylene-bis-aniline derivatives such as 4,4'-Methylene bis((3-chloro-2,6-diethylaniline), 4,4'-Methylene bis(2,6-diethylaniline), and 4,4'-Methylene bis(2,6-diisopropylaniline). Additionally, m-Xylene diamine and 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine (tetraaminobiphenyl) are classified here.
This category distinguishes itself from its siblings by encompassing aromatic diamines and related compounds that possess specific structural characteristics or functional groups not addressed in other subheadings. For instance, it differs from 2921.59.08.00 which specifically lists compounds like 5-Amino-2-(p-aminoanilino) benzenesulfonic acid and various benzidine derivatives with sulfonic acid groups, as well as certain chlorinated or alkylated aniline compounds. Similarly, it is distinct from 2921.59.20.00 (4,4'-Diamino-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid) and 2921.59.30.00 (4,4'-Methylenedianiline) which are more narrowly defined.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2921.59.17.00 is determined by the specific chemical identity of the aromatic polyamine or its derivative, provided it is not specifically enumerated under other more precise subheadings within the broader category of aromatic polyamines. The presence of sulfonic acid groups, specific methylene bridges with particular substituents, or unique polyamine structures are key classification determinants.
