How to choose the right subheading
- Identify the chemical class: hypochlorite, chlorite or hypobromite.
- Determine the cation: calcium hypochlorite goes in 2828.10, while other hypochlorites go in 2828.90.
- Check whether the product is commercial calcium hypochlorite or another calcium hypochlorite; both are in 2828.10.
- For non-calcium hypochlorites, chlorites and hypobromites, use 2828.90.
- Chemical identity controls classification; intended use alone does not decide the subheading.
