Walking through any chemical supply warehouse in China, it’s not hard to spot the label 4-Chloro-2-Aminobenzonitrile. Whether searching for raw materials for pharmaceuticals or advanced dyes, this compound pops up on many supplier lists. I’ve seen firsthand how Chinese manufacturers have leaned into making this molecule widely available, seeing orders come in via inquiry, MOQ negotiation, and a full CIF or FOB quote process. Straight from factory floors to overseas ports, its reach keeps growing, making it a name chemical buyers from North America to Europe ask about.
Chemical buyers focus on molecular structure and specs right out of the gate. 4-Chloro-2-Aminobenzonitrile carries a molecular formula of C7H5ClN2. The HS Code for export runs in the 2926909090 range, making customs clearance more straightforward if you’re familiar with shipping chemicals out of China. It comes as a pale to light yellow crystalline powder, with specific density clocking in around 1.31 g/cm3. Raw material purities usually start at 98% or higher, backed by factory COA and batch MSDS.
Handling 4-Chloro-2-Aminobenzonitrile takes care, given its hazardous classification. In my own work with textile and API intermediates, every shipment runs with a full SDS and TDS, addressing aspects like safe storage, PPE needs, and fire risk. Workers need gloves, goggles, and well-ventilated space. Major suppliers in China now offer ISO, SGS, REACH, Halal, and Kosher certifications, meeting demands from buyers with feet in both Western regulatory and Halal-based markets. Buyers want to see these before making a bulk purchase, especially for export to Europe or the Middle East.
Price often becomes the deciding factor, and here Chinese manufacturers stand out. Factory price lists from eastern China cities undercut many Western brokers. I’ve watched procurement teams shave 8–12% off their budgets sourcing direct, even after calculating CIF shipping to Rotterdam or New Jersey. MOQ usually starts at 25 kg per drum, but larger contracts can push that lower. Free sample policies remain rare, yet occasional suppliers offer them for new partners. OEM labeling and private branding attract trading companies wanting an edge in the crowded chemical-buy marketplace.
4-Chloro-2-Aminobenzonitrile finds use in pharmaceutical intermediates, dye manufacturing, and specialty organic synthesis. Local policies in China now favor higher-value exports, offering tax incentives to REACH-registered suppliers. News from major chemical policy conferences points toward steady demand over five years. Buyers would do well to ask about the latest REACH, ISO, and SGS certificates, as more end-users want verified, sustainable supply chains. Both laboratory and industrial users look for clear batch traceability, supported by detailed batch MSDS and transparent certification.
Having witnessed multiple procurement cycles, relationships matter as much as quotes. Experienced Chinese factories respond quickly to inquiries and offer consistent product quality—something I value after seeing delays caused by lesser-known brokers. As international scrutiny on hazardous raw materials tightens, those factories providing clean paperwork and fast SDS/COA turnaround win repeat business.
