2820Manganese oxides

Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2820 when importing or exporting manganese oxides, such as manganese dioxide, commonly found in batteries and ceramics. Understanding the specific type of manganese oxide is crucial for proper classification.

When deciding between HS-6 282010 and HS-6 282090, consider that 282010 specifically covers manganese dioxide, which is often used in dry cell batteries. If your product is a different manganese oxide, such as manganese oxide used in fertilizers, it falls under 282090.

If your shipment consists of a mixture of manganese oxides, you may need to classify it under 282090, as this code excludes manganese dioxide. Ensure you have documentation to support your classification choice.
