Tranexamic acid is classified under HS Code 2922.49. This falls under Chapter 29: Organic chemicals, specifically Heading 2922 (Oxygen-function amino-compounds), under subheading: Amino-acids, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, their esters; salts thereof, excluding lysine, glutamic acid, anthranalic acid and tilidine, their esters and salts thereof.

Trade activity under HS 2922.49 shows a large, active supply chain with 5,988 suppliers, 30,322 shipments, and over 1 billion kg moved since 2015, but this is not ingredient-specific to tranexamic acid. The classification covers a broad range of amino-acids and esters, so the volume and supplier count reflect many chemicals, not just tranexamic acid. For business planning, this suggests a robust global trade infrastructure for the broader chemical class, but it cannot confirm tranexamic acid-specific supply or demand. Further ingredient-level data is needed to assess actual tranexamic acid trade dynamics.
HS 2922.49 covers 'Amino-acids, other than those containing more than one kind of oxygen function, their esters; salts thereof, excluding lysine, glutamic acid, anthranilic acid and tilidine.' This is a broad category that includes many amino-acid derivatives, not exclusively tranexamic acid. The classification does not isolate tranexamic acid, and the notes indicate tranexamic acid may be more accurately classified under a different HS code (e.g., 2916 for cyclohexanecarboxylic acid derivatives). Therefore, any trade data under 2922.49 is only loosely associated with tranexamic acid and cannot be used to confirm ingredient-specific shipments.

The supplier landscape under HS 2922.49 appears highly diversified, with 5,988 suppliers across 113 countries, but this includes many non-chemical entities like industrial manufacturers and logistics providers, indicating noise. Among selected suppliers, Indian firms like Divis Laboratories, Avid Organics, and Hikal show high shipment counts, suggesting they are significant players in the broader amino-acid space. However, the data does not confirm they supply tranexamic acid specifically. The presence of large distributors like Nouryon and Nagase indicates a mix of manufacturers and traders, but concentration cannot be assessed for tranexamic acid from this evidence.
Key supply risks include the lack of ingredient-specific shipment data, as HS 2922.49 covers a broad range of amino-acids, making it impossible to confirm tranexamic acid trade volumes or supplier reliability. Additionally, the classification may be misaligned, as tranexamic acid could fall under a different HS code, leading to potential data gaps. The presence of many non-chemical entities in the supplier list suggests that relying on this data for supplier identification could result in false positives. Further diligence is required to verify actual tranexamic acid manufacturers and their supply chains through ingredient-specific sources.
China, India, Italy, Japan, and Belgium are the top sourcing countries by supplier count and shipment volume under HS 2922.49, with China leading at 1,986 suppliers and 7,816 shipments. These geographies likely represent major hubs for amino-acid production and trade, but the data is not tranexamic acid-specific. For tranexamic acid, India and China are known pharmaceutical manufacturing centers, so they may be relevant, but this evidence does not confirm that. Other countries like South Korea, Germany, and the Netherlands also show significant activity, suggesting a diversified global network for this chemical class.
