Free Consultation1) Detailed Description of Aminorex
Aminorex is a stimulant compound acting on the central nervous system, historically used as an appetite suppressant but banned or severely restricted in many countries due to serious cardiovascular adverse effects and abuse potential. From a customs perspective, this product falls under controlled pharmaceutical/chemical substances, and any import is only possible within very limited research or medical frameworks with stringent permits.
Supply forms may include powder/API, pharmaceutical salts, or, under highly limited conditions, research formulations. Packaging must comply with safety/labeling standards (substance name, purity, batch/lot number, storage conditions, HSE hazards). Shipping documents must detail purity, grade, net/gross weight, packaging unit, and include MSDS/SDS.
2) Types and Applications
- Research use: Utilized in pharmaceutical/toxicology research projects under official permits and research ethics approval.
- Highly limited medical use: Only within specific frameworks and under full supervision of competent authorities (prohibited in many countries). No public/OTC use is permitted.
- Common forms: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) with high purity; any dosed/finished form requires additional permits.
3) Key Points in Aminorex Clearance
- 1. Import permit from the Ministry of Health and the Food and Drug Administration: Importing Aminorex, given its significant impact on public health and potential adverse effects, requires special permits from Iran’s Ministry of Health and Food and Drug Administration. These permits ensure that importation is conducted only for legal purposes and under full supervision.
2. Certificates of quality and analysis (COA): Every shipment of Aminorex must have a valid Certificate of Analysis from reputable authorities. These COAs include complete information on chemical analysis, purity percentage, and quality standards. Failure to present valid certificates may lead to clearance delays or even rejection by customs authorities.
3. International permits: Since Aminorex is banned or restricted in many countries due to the risk of abuse, importing this substance may require specific international permits from regulatory bodies. International drug control conventions, such as the United Nations conventions, may be involved in the import process, and compliance with global laws must be ensured.
4) Aminorex Customs Tariff and HS Code
The customs tariff code or HS Code is an international system for classifying goods to determine customs duties and control imports and exports. The HS Code for Aminorex a stimulant substance is 29349900, within Nitrogen-Function Compounds. Chemicals and pharmaceuticals like Aminorex fall under one of the subheadings of Chapter 29 of the customs coding system. As a stimulant and controlled drug, Aminorex is assigned a tariff heading specific to stimulant chemicals and drugs that are subject to special international oversight. This tariff code not only affects the calculation of customs duties but is also critical for import standards and safety compliance.
To determine the exact tariff code for Aminorex, further details such as molecular structure and its pharmaceutical application are required. Typically, chemicals in the stimulant group have tariff codes associated with the control of narcotics and sensitive drugs. Importers should be aware that an incorrect tariff selection can result in heavy penalties and even stoppage of imports.
| Goods | Short Description | Sample HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Aminorex (Aminorex) | Controlled/medicinal nitrogen compound | 29349900 |
Final sub-classification may change depending on salt form/application and technical documentation.
5) Special Conditions for Import and Export of Aminorex
Aminorex, due to high sensitivities in its use and production, is subject to strict regulations in many countries. As a drug affecting the central nervous system, it is specifically classified as a controlled drug and is prohibited for general consumption in most countries. Only in special cases for research or medical purposes may it be imported or exported under very limited permits.
Importing Aminorex into Iran
Importing Aminorex into Iran faces many restrictions and is possible only for specific research or medical cases. Because of its substantial impact on public health, special permits from the Iranian Food and Drug Administration and the Ministry of Health are required. In such cases, importation of Aminorex is allowed for medical research, laboratory studies, and specific pharmaceutical production requiring a substance with Aminorex’s properties. Due to the high sensitivity, strict controls and tight supervision are applied throughout the import process. Importers must obtain the necessary permits before proceeding.
Exporting Aminorex from Iran
Given the lack of widespread production of Aminorex in Iran and international restrictive laws, exports of this substance generally do not occur. If export is needed for research or medical uses to other countries, all international permits must be obtained and the laws related to exporting controlled drugs must be observed. This is crucial due to international sensitivities and tight controls on the export of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
6) Iranian Market
Accurate information on the import volume of Aminorex into Iran is not available due to legal restrictions and its limited consumption. Import is highly restricted and only permitted for specific medical or research purposes. Likewise, exports from Iran are almost negligible or zero due to lack of production and international regulations.
7) Import and Export Volumes
Global circulation of Aminorex is highly restricted. After the prohibition of its use in the 1970s in many countries due to risks associated with consumption, production and distribution of Aminorex decreased significantly. Most pharmaceutical manufacturers around the world discontinued production, and currently only a limited number of manufacturers in some countries such as China and India may produce Aminorex for specific research or commercial purposes. Globally, production and use of Aminorex are limited to scientific and research centers and it is not produced for general consumption.
8) Global Market
Main exporters: Due to production and legal restrictions, the exporting countries of Aminorex are very limited. China and India, as two major producers of chemicals and pharmaceuticals worldwide, may have limited production of this substance. These countries can export Aminorex only within specific contracts and for research purposes. However, production is under strict supervision.
Main importers: European and North American countries, due to strict controlled-substance laws, have almost completely banned imports of Aminorex. However, Asian countries such as India and China may allow limited imports for scientific or restricted pharmaceutical purposes. Some smaller Asian and African countries that do not yet have strict laws regarding this substance may permit limited imports for specific medicinal uses.
9) Required Documents for Clearance
1. Import permit from the Ministry of Health and the Food and Drug Administration
The first and most important document for importing Aminorex is obtaining an official permit from the Ministry of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. This permit confirms that importing Aminorex is allowed for legal purposes such as research and medical testing. Without this permit, importing Aminorex is considered illegal and will face serious issues.

3. Commercial Invoice
The commercial invoice is issued by the seller and includes details such as price, quantity, and complete specifications of Aminorex. It must be prepared accurately in accordance with international standards and submitted to customs along with other documents.
4. Bill of Lading
The Bill of Lading contains information related to the transportation and transfer of the shipment. It is issued by the carrier and includes details such as country of origin, destination, and method of transport for Aminorex. It is one of the primary documents that must be presented to customs during clearance.
5. Packing List
The packing list precisely describes the contents of each package and how the Aminorex is packed. This document is highly important for customs inspection stages, helping customs ensure that goods are packed and transported according to safety standards.
6. Certificate of Origin
The Certificate of Origin confirms the country from which the goods were exported. It is typically issued by the exporting country’s chamber of commerce and is used to determine customs tariffs and comply with international trade rules.
7. International permits (if needed)
If Aminorex falls under international drug control conventions, specific international permits from relevant regulatory bodies may be required. These permits demonstrate that the import complies with international laws.
8. Customs Declaration
This document is prepared by the importer and includes all information about the shipment, including its value, origin, and destination. The customs declaration helps customs conduct an accurate assessment of the goods and calculate duties and taxes precisely.
