2924.23 - 2-Acetamidobenzoic acid (N-acetylanthranilic acid) and its salts:

This HTS category, 2924.23, encompasses 2-acetamidobenzoic acid, also known as N-acetylanthranilic acid, and its corresponding salts. These compounds are characterized by the presence of both an amide functional group within a cyclic structure derived from benzoic acid. They are typically organic chemical intermediates or specialty chemicals with applications that may include pharmaceutical synthesis or other fine chemical processes.

Within the broader group of cyclic amides and their derivatives (2924.2), this specific subheading distinguishes itself from sibling categories such as ureines and their derivatives (2924.21) or specific compounds like Ethinamate (2924.24.00.00) and Alachlor (2924.25.00.00). While all fall under cyclic amides, 2924.23 is precisely defined by the molecular structure of 2-acetamidobenzoic acid and its salts, differentiating it from other cyclic amide structures or specific named compounds with different functionalities or uses.

The subcategories under 2924.23 further refine the classification. The primary subdivision is for 2-acetamidobenzoic acid itself (2924.23.10.00), which covers the pure acid form. The residual "Other" category serves to capture any salts of 2-acetamidobenzoic acid, ensuring that all forms of this specific chemical compound are appropriately accounted for within the tariff schedule.
