Overview
This HTS category, 2924.29.33.00, encompasses a specific group of Naphthol AS derivatives characterized by their complex aromatic amide structures. These compounds are primarily utilized as intermediates in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly for textile dyeing and printing applications. The listed examples, such as 3-Hydroxy-2-naphthanilide and its various substituted anilide derivatives, highlight the specific chemical configurations that define this sub-classification. Their utility stems from their ability to couple with diazonium salts to form insoluble azo dyes.
While this category focuses on these particular Naphthol AS derivatives, its sibling category, 2924.29.36.00, covers "Other" compounds within the broader scope of aromatic Naphthol AS derivatives not explicitly listed under 2924.29.33.00. Therefore, classification under 2924.29.33.00 requires a precise match to the chemical structures enumerated in the description, differentiating them from less specifically defined or structurally variant Naphthol AS compounds.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is definitive based on the chemical identity of the substance being imported or exported. Careful examination of the chemical nomenclature and structure is paramount for accurate classification within this specific HTS code.
