2922.29.29.00 - Photographic chemicals

This HTS classification covers photographic chemicals that fall under the broader category of oxygen-function amino-compounds, specifically amino-naphthols and other amino-phenols. These substances are characterized by the presence of both an amino group and a hydroxyl group attached to aromatic rings, excluding those with multiple distinct oxygen-containing functional groups. The "other" designation at this level indicates that these chemicals are not specifically enumerated as fast color bases or as drugs, which are classified separately under sibling categories.

The key differentiator for this subcategory lies in its intended use within photographic processes. While sibling categories address specific applications like color formation in dyes or medicinal compounds, this classification encompasses other photographic chemicals that are not readily categorized elsewhere. This often includes developing agents, fixing agents, or other specialized chemical preparations essential for the creation and processing of photographic images, provided they meet the structural criteria of amino-naphthols or amino-phenols.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 2922.29.29.00 is final for photographic chemicals meeting the specified structural requirements that are not otherwise specifically classified. Therefore, the practical application of this code hinges on carefully evaluating the chemical structure and confirming its primary intended use in photographic applications, distinguishing it from other amino-compounds with different functionalities or end-uses.
