HS Code 2827Chlorides; chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides

What HS code 2827 covers

Heading 2827 groups simple salts made with chlorine, bromine or iodine. The order is easy to remember. Chlorides come first. Then come chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides, then bromides and bromide oxides, and last iodides and iodide oxides.

You may also hear it called an HSN code. The first digits follow the same world system, so the heading is the same.

Chlorides are split by the metal or base they are made with. That is why a buyer of calcium chloride and a buyer of nickel chloride use different six-digit codes under one four-digit heading.

Six-digit codes under 2827: chlorides, bromides and iodides

The table above gives the official wording. Here is the same list in everyday product names, so you can match your goods faster.

• 282710: ammonium chloride
• 282720: calcium chloride
• 282731: magnesium chloride
• 282732: aluminium chloride
• 282735: nickel chloride
• 282739: all other chlorides, such as strontium chloride
• 282741: chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides of copper
• 282749: chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides of any other metal
• 282751: sodium bromide and potassium bromide
• 282759: other bromides and bromide oxides
• 282760: iodides and iodide oxides

How to pick the right 2827 code

Start with the type of compound. Ask if your product is a plain chloride, a chloride oxide or hydroxide, a bromide, or an iodide.

If it is a plain chloride, look at the metal or base. Ammonium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium and nickel each have their own code. Any other chloride goes to 282739. This is the catch-all code, so check the named codes first.

If it is a chloride oxide or hydroxide, check for copper. Copper goes to 282741. Every other metal goes to 282749.

Sodium and potassium bromide have their own code, 282751. Other bromides go to 282759.

Still unsure? Try the HS code classifier. A wrong code can delay a shipment, so a second check is worth it.

What does HS code 2827 not include?

Several nearby headings look close but cover different goods. Chlorine, bromine and iodine as plain elements belong to heading 2801. Halides of non-metals belong to heading 2812, and fluorides belong to heading 2826.

Salts that carry more oxygen are also elsewhere. Hypochlorites and chlorites are in heading 2828. A common mistake is to file a chlorate or hypochlorite here because the name sounds like a chloride. Read the chemical name closely.
