2924.19.11.10 - Acrylamide

This HTS category, HTS 2924.19.11.10, specifically covers Acrylamide. Acrylamide is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amide functional group and a vinyl group. It is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polyacrylamide, a water-soluble polymer with widespread applications in water treatment, paper manufacturing, and oil recovery.

To understand its placement, it's important to distinguish Acrylamide from its sibling categories. While all fall under "Amides" within the broader acyclic carbamate and amide classification, HTS 2924.19.11.20 is reserved for Dimethylformamide, and HTS 2924.19.11.30 is for Methacrylamide. Acrylamide differs from Dimethylformamide by its specific chemical structure, notably lacking methyl groups attached to the nitrogen. It is distinguished from Methacrylamide by the absence of a methyl group directly attached to the vinyl carbon atom.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of Acrylamide under HTS 2924.19.11.10 is definitive for pure Acrylamide and its immediate derivatives that do not fit into the more specifically named sibling categories. The key criterion for classification here is the specific chemical identity of Acrylamide itself, as defined by its molecular structure.
