HS Code 2807Sulphuric acid; oleum
1 six-digit code · Heading 7 of 50 in Chapter 28 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
This page explains what it covers, how to tell it from nearby acids, and how to find who trades it.
Heading 2807does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Sulphuric acid; oleum” classify at the single six-digit code 280700. The heading is number 7 of 50 in Chapter 28, Inorganic chemicals; organic and inorganic compounds of precious metals; of rare earth metals, of radio-active elements and of isotopes, which runs to 180 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 2807 covers
Sulphuric acid is also spelled sulfuric acid, so you may see both on invoices. Oleum is sulphuric acid with extra gas dissolved in it. Many traders call it fuming sulphuric acid.
Both products go in the same heading. You do not need to pick between them for customs classification at this level.
The heading sits with the inorganic acids in Chapter 28 inorganic chemicals. The Harmonized System is a shared list of product codes. It means a drum of acid gets the same label in many countries.
HS code 280700 and national tariff codes
The code you put on the paperwork is 280700. The WCO nomenclature stops there for this heading. It has no further split.
Many countries add extra digits of their own. These longer codes are national tariff lines, and they start with the same six digits. In India the system is called HSN, so people search for the HSN code 2807 and mean the same goods.
Duty and tax depend on the country that is importing. Check that country's own tariff before you quote a price or ship. This page does not list rates.
How 2807 differs from nearby headings
Several chapter 28 headings sound alike. The name of the acid decides the heading. Use this list to check you have the right one.
A common question is the difference between HS 2806 and 2807.
- 2802: sulphur itself, not the acid made from it.
- 2806: hydrochloric acid and chlorosulphuric acid.
- 2809: phosphoric acid and related phosphorus acids.
- 2811: other inorganic acids not named elsewhere.
- 2833: sulphates, which are salts, not acids.
Sulphuric acid import and export data
Shipment records for this product are filed under 280700. A record is one shipment, not a yearly total. It can show the product description, the parties and the goods moved.
Descriptions are written by the people who file them. One record may say sulphuric acid, another sulfuric acid and another oleum. Search all three spellings so you do not miss shipments.
If you want to know where a country imports sulphuric acid and oleum from, start with the records filed under this code for that country. The same records show who exports it.
