HS Code 2828Hypochlorites; commercial calcium hypochlorite; chlorites; hypobromites
2 six-digit codes · Heading 28 of 50 in Chapter 28 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2828 is the Harmonized System heading for the hypochlorite family of chemicals. This page helps you pick between its two subheadings and find who trades them.
Heading 2828 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Hypochlorites; commercial calcium hypochlorite; chlorites; hypobromites” classify either at 282810 or at 282890, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 28 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 2828 covers, and why some call it HSN
An HS heading is the first four digits of a Harmonized System code. This one sits in Chapter 28, the chapter for inorganic chemicals. Traders in India often say HSN code 2828. They mean the same heading.
The goods here are mostly chlorine compounds. Hypobromites are the bromine version. The heading also names chlorites, so a product with one of these three names usually starts its search here.
The next two sections explain each one, and the section after that shows how to choose.
HS code for calcium hypochlorite: 282810
If your product is calcium hypochlorite, the match is 282810. It is the only subheading that names calcium. The wording covers the commercial grade and other calcium hypochlorites.
Check the product label and the safety data sheet. Look for the word calcium. If it is there, you are very likely in 282810.
HS 282890: other hypochlorites, chlorites and hypobromites
282890 is the catch-all line. The letters n.e.c. mean not elsewhere classified. Goods that fit the heading but are not calcium hypochlorites go here.
The heading names chlorites and hypobromites. Neither one is calcium hypochlorite, so they fit this line. So does any other hypochlorite that is not a calcium salt.
- Calcium salt: use 282810
- Any other hypochlorite, a chlorite or a hypobromite: use 282890
Difference between HS 2828 and 2829 chlorates, and other near-misses
Hypochlorites and chlorates are different salts. If your label says chlorate or perchlorate, look at HS 2829 first. The same goes for bromates and iodates.
Some other headings are easy to confuse with this one. HS 2801 is for chlorine, bromine and iodine as plain elements. HS 2827 is for chlorides and bromides. Hydrogen peroxide has its own heading, HS 2847.
If the product name is unclear, test it in the HS code classifier before you file. Duty and tax rates change from country to country, so they are not listed here. Check them for your own market, or open the live records to see how goods were declared.
