About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 2827.20.00.00, specifically covers calcium chloride. Calcium chloride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CaClâ‚‚. It is typically found as a white crystalline solid and is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Its common applications include use as a de-icing agent, dust suppressant, and as a desiccant.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 2827.10.00.00 is reserved for ammonium chloride. The other sibling categories, such as chloride oxides, chloride hydroxides, bromides, bromide oxides, iodides, and iodide oxides, are distinct chemical compounds with different elemental compositions and properties. Therefore, 2827.20.00.00 is precisely for the chloride of calcium, excluding other metallic or non-metallic chlorides.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 2827.20.00.00. The classification of calcium chloride at this level is specific and does not require further breakdown. Classification professionals should ensure that the imported or exported product is indeed calcium chloride, based on its chemical composition and physical characteristics, to correctly apply this tariff code.
