Chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides
24 declarable lines
Heading 2827 covers inorganic chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides, bromides and bromide oxides, and iodides and iodide oxides. The heading is split first by chemical family, then by the metal or cation named in the subheading. Residual lines apply when the specific metal is not separately listed.
Products in this heading
- Ammonium chloride
- Calcium chloride de-icer
- Magnesium chloride flakes
- Aluminum chloride
- Nickel chloride
- Zinc chloride
- Lithium chloride
- Potassium iodide
How to choose the right subheading
- Identify the anion family first: chloride, chloride oxide or chloride hydroxide, bromide or bromide oxide, or iodide or iodide oxide.
- Identify the metal or cation, because many subheadings are metal-specific.
- For chlorides of a metal named in 2827.39, use that metal-specific line; use 2827.39.90 for other chlorides.
- For bromides and iodides, choose the line for the named metal group, then the residual line for other compounds.
- Confirm the product is a single inorganic compound or a defined mixture covered by the heading, not a different salt family.
Often confused with
- Heading 2828Sodium hypochlorite bleach
It is a hypochlorite, not a chloride.
- Heading 2829Potassium chlorate
It is a chlorate, not a chloride.
- Heading 2833Ammonium sulfate fertilizer
It is a sulfate, not a chloride.
- Heading 2801Elemental iodine
It is a nonmetal element, not an iodide compound.
