HS-4 · Heading

2825Hydrazine and hydroxylamine and their inorganic salts; other inorganic bases; other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides

Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2825 when importing hydrazine, hydroxylamine, or their inorganic salts, such as hydrazine hydrate. These chemicals are often used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, or as rocket propellants.

When deciding between HS-6 codes, note that 282510 specifically covers hydrazine and hydroxylamine, while 282520 is for lithium oxide and hydroxide. If your product is a lithium salt or oxide, choose 282520 instead.

If you're dealing with vanadium compounds, HS-6 282530 is your code, while nickel oxides and hydroxides fall under 282540. Ensure you check the specific metal content of your product to avoid misclassification.

For less common compounds, such as antimony oxides, refer to HS-6 282580. If your product doesn't fit neatly into the other categories, 282590 covers inorganic bases and metal oxides not elsewhere classified.

What is the main use of hydrazine?
Hydrazine is primarily used as a rocket propellant and in agriculture as a pesticide.
How do I classify lithium hydroxide for customs?
Lithium hydroxide falls under **HS-6 282520**. Ensure you have the correct product specifications.
What does n.e.c. mean in HS-4 2825?
n.e.c. stands for 'not elsewhere classified', indicating products that don't fit into the specified subheadings.
Can I import vanadium oxides without special permits?
It depends on your country’s regulations. Check local import laws for vanadium compounds.
What is the difference between nickel oxides and hydroxides?
Nickel oxides are compounds with nickel and oxygen, while nickel hydroxides contain hydroxide ions. Both have different uses in industries.
Are there safety regulations for importing hydroxylamine?
Yes, hydroxylamine is regulated due to its hazardous nature. Ensure compliance with safety standards during import.
