2930.60.00.00 - 2-(N,N-Diethylamino)ethanethiol

This HTS category, 2930.60.00.00, specifically covers the chemical compound 2-(N,N-Diethylamino)ethanethiol. This organo-sulfur compound is characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group and a tertiary amine group containing two ethyl substituents. Its primary use is typically as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors, often contributing to the creation of more complex molecules.

Distinguishing this compound from its siblings, we see other aminothiols like 2-(N,N-Dimethylamino)ethanethiol (2930.10.01.00), which differs in the alkyl substitution on the nitrogen atom. Other sibling categories, such as thiocarbamates, dithiocarbamates, and thiuram sulfides, represent entirely different functional groups and chemical structures within the broader organo-sulfur classification. Methionine and thiodiglycol, also listed as siblings, are distinct compounds with specific amino acid or sulfide functionalities, respectively.

As 2930.60.00.00 is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions within this specific code. Therefore, classification at this level relies on the accurate identification of the chemical substance itself. Importers and exporters must ensure that the goods being declared precisely match the chemical structure and nomenclature of 2-(N,N-Diethylamino)ethanethiol to ensure correct entry and compliance with customs regulations.
