Overview
This HTS category, 2922.14.00.00, specifically covers dextropropoxyphene and its salts. Dextropropoxyphene is an analgesic compound, often used in pharmaceutical preparations. Its salts are included to ensure comprehensive classification of this particular substance in its various commercially relevant forms.
Distinguishing this code from its siblings, such as the ethanolamines (2922.11, 2922.12, 2922.15, 2922.17), is crucial. While all fall under amino-alcohols, dextropropoxyphene is a distinct chemical entity with specific pharmacological properties, differing significantly in structure and application from simpler ethanolamine derivatives. The presence of a chiral carbon atom and a complex aromatic structure are key identifiers for dextropropoxyphene.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 2922.14.00.00 is final for dextropropoxyphene and its salts. Importers and exporters should confirm the precise chemical identity of the goods to ensure accurate declaration, as variations in salt form or purity do not typically warrant a different classification at this level.
