HS HEADING 2827

Chlorides; chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides

In plain English

This category covers inorganic chemicals, specifically chlorides, chloride oxides, chloride hydroxides, bromides, bromide oxides, iodides, and iodide oxides. The items are sorted by their specific chemical composition, such as chlorides of ammonium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, or nickel, as well as other chlorides not listed there. Chloride oxides and hydroxides are further divided by whether they are made of copper or another material. Bromides and iodides are also categorized, with bromides split between those of sodium or potassium and all other bromides and bromide oxides.

Chapter 28 classification notes

Chapter 28 contains many DG-class 8 corrosive substances and class 6 toxic substances. Personal-import effectively zero; commercial imports require IATA shipper's declaration + destination MSDS compliance.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Pharmaceutical-grade vs. industrial-grade chemistry — same molecule, different chapter (Chapter 30 vs. 28).

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
