HS Code 2819Chromium oxides and hydroxides
2 six-digit codes · Heading 19 of 50 in Chapter 28 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2819 is where customs sorts chromium oxides and hydroxides. Read on to pick the right code and to find the firms that trade these goods.
Heading 2819 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Chromium oxides and hydroxides” classify either at 281910 or at 281990, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 19 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 2819 covers
The Harmonized System is a global naming list for traded goods. Heading 2819 holds chromium compounds that are oxides or hydroxides. Some countries call the same number the HSN code 2819. The goods and the wording are the same.
A heading is only the start. Each country may add extra digits to build its own tariff line. Duty and tax rates belong to those national lines, so this page states none. Check the tariff schedule of the country you ship to before you quote a price.
The customs description is the official wording attached to a code. Officers compare your shipment with that wording. Match your product to it, not to a trade name or a nickname.
HS 281910 vs 281990: which code to use
Ask one question: is the product chromium trioxide? If yes, use 281910. Chromium trioxide has a code of its own. It never goes into the other one.
Every other chromium oxide, and every chromium hydroxide, goes to 281990. The words "excluding chromium trioxide" in its description make that rule plain.
If you are unsure, read the chemical name on the supplier's safety sheet or certificate. Then compare it with the two lines below. The HS code classifier can also help you narrow down a product that does not fit at first glance.
- 281910: Chromium trioxide
- 281990: Chromium oxides and hydroxides; excluding chromium trioxide
Related oxide and hydroxide headings in Chapter 28
Chromium is not the only metal with its own oxide heading. If your product is another metal compound, it most likely sits next door. These are the closest headings.
Heading 2825 is a catch-all for metal oxides and hydroxides that have no heading of their own. Chromium already has one, so do not send chromium goods there.
- 2818: Aluminium oxide (including artificial corundum); aluminium hydroxide
- 2820: Manganese oxides
- 2821: Iron oxides and hydroxides; earth colours
- 2822: Cobalt oxides and hydroxides; commercial cobalt oxides
- 2823: Titanium oxides
- 2825: Hydrazine and hydroxylamine and their inorganic salts; other inorganic bases; other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides
Find importers and exporters of chromium oxides
Every cross-border shipment carries an HS code on its customs papers. That makes the code a handy key for finding the firms behind the trade. For chromium trioxide importers and exporters, search 281910. For other chromium oxide import export data, search 281990. To see the whole heading, search 2819.

HS Code 2819: common questions
What is HS code 2819?
It is the four-digit customs heading used worldwide for chromium oxides and hydroxides. Two more specific codes sit beneath it.
What is the HS code for chromium trioxide?
Use 281910. This code is reserved for that one compound.
What is the difference between HS 281910 and 281990?
The first is only for chromium trioxide. The second takes the rest of the heading, meaning any other chromium oxide or hydroxide.
Under which chapter does HSN code 2819 fall?
It belongs to the chapter on inorganic chemicals, which you can browse through the chapter link on this page.
Which HS code applies to manganese, iron or cobalt oxides?
Each of those metals has its own neighbouring heading, so none of them go under 2819. Open the linked heading pages to see their codes.
Where can I find import export data for heading 2819?
Open the import data or export data page and search by 2819, 281910 or 281990. The records come from customs filings.
Can I see buyers and suppliers of chromium oxides?
Yes, try the buyer data and supplier data pages and search by code. What names you can see depends on the market.
