About heading 2804
Hydrogen, rare gases and other nonmetals
Heading 2804 covers the nonmetal elements in elemental form: hydrogen, the rare gases, nitrogen, oxygen, boron, tellurium, silicon, phosphorus, arsenic and selenium. The heading is split first by element, then by purity for silicon and by gas identity for the rare gases. Most lines carry a 3.7% general rate, while silicon at lower purity and most of the metalloid elements are split between free and higher rates.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for argon?
Argon is classified under 2804.21.00.00, and the general (MFN) rate is 3.7%.
What is the duty on silicon?
The rate depends on purity. Silicon containing 99.99% or more by weight is 2804.61.00.00 at Free, silicon at 99 to 99.99% is 2804.69.10.00 at 5.3% general (MFN), and other silicon is 2804.69.50.00 at 5.5% general (MFN).
How do I classify helium?
Helium falls under the rare gases other than argon line, 2804.29.00.10, at a general (MFN) rate of 3.7%.
