Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

Category 2827 encompasses a diverse group of inorganic chemical compounds, specifically chlorides, chloride oxides, chloride hydroxides, bromides, bromide oxides, iodides, and iodide oxides. These substances are characterized by the presence of halogen elements (chlorine, bromine, or iodine) bonded with metals or metalloids, or forming complex structures with oxygen and hydroxyl groups. This classification falls under Chapter 28, which deals with essential inorganic chemicals.

Distinct from sibling categories at the root level, which focus on live animals, Category 2827 is exclusively concerned with chemical substances. Its parent context within Section VI highlights its position as a fundamental inorganic chemical grouping, separate from finished goods or other specialized industrial products. The primary classification criteria for items within this category revolve around their chemical composition and the specific halogen present.

Within Category 2827, further subdivisions exist to differentiate between various types of halogen compounds. For instance, there are specific subcategories for ammonium chloride, calcium chloride, and other general chloride classifications. Separate headings are also dedicated to chloride oxides and hydroxides, as well as to bromides and bromide oxides, and iodides and iodide oxides. These subcategories are crucial for precise classification based on the dominant halogen element and the presence of oxygen or hydroxyl groups, allowing for accurate tariff application and regulatory compliance.
