HS Code 2822Cobalt oxides and hydroxides; commercial cobalt oxides
1 six-digit code · Heading 22 of 50 in Chapter 28 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2822 is the customs heading for cobalt oxides and hydroxides, and trade in these goods is reported under code 282200. This page explains what the heading covers and how to tell it apart from nearby oxide headings.
Heading 2822does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Cobalt oxides and hydroxides; commercial cobalt oxides” classify at the single six-digit code 282200. The heading is number 22 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 2822 covers
Heading 2822 is about compounds of cobalt and oxygen. These are inorganic chemicals, so the heading sits in Chapter 28 of the Harmonized System.
The word commercial matters. It points to oxides sold as trade goods, which may not be perfectly pure chemicals. If your cargo is sold as a cobalt oxide or hydroxide, this is the heading to check first.
Always compare your exact product with the official heading text before you fill in a customs form. A product name on an invoice is not always the same as the name in the tariff.
Cobalt hydroxide and cobalt tetroxide: which code?
Cobalt hydroxide is named in the heading, so it classifies under 282200. The same code applies to cobalt oxides. Cobalt tetroxide is a cobalt oxide, so it is the kind of product this heading was written for.
At world level there is nothing to choose between inside this heading. Many countries add extra digits after the first six for their own tariff. Check your local tariff if you need those longer codes.
How 2822 differs from nearby oxide headings
The oxide headings in Chapter 28 are sorted by metal. If your product is an oxide of a different metal, it goes in a different heading. Cobalt goes in 2822.
Heading 2825 is a broad catch-all for other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, and for some other inorganic bases. Heading 2822 names cobalt directly. A heading that names your product is usually a better fit than a broad one. These are the closest neighbours:
- 2819 is for chromium oxides and hydroxides.
- 2820 is for manganese oxides.
- 2821 is for iron oxides and hydroxides, plus some earth colours.
- 2823 is for titanium oxides.
- 2825 is for other metal oxides and hydroxides, among other goods.
