No, you must use the specific HS-6 code that corresponds to the type of chloride you are importing.

HS-4 · Heading

2827 — Chlorides; chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides

Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2827 when importing chlorides, bromides, or iodides, such as ammonium chloride used in fertilizers. This heading covers various chloride compounds and their oxides and hydroxides, essential for chemical manufacturing and other applications.

When deciding between subheadings, consider the specific type of chloride. For instance, HS-6 282710 is for ammonium chlorides, while HS-6 282720 is designated for calcium chlorides. If your product contains magnesium chloride, you would use HS-6 282731.

For bromides, HS-6 282751 is for sodium or potassium bromides, which are often used in pharmaceuticals. If your product is a bromide not specified in that line, refer to HS-6 282759 for other bromides and bromide oxides.

Iodides fall under HS-6 282760, which includes iodide oxides. Ensure you select the correct subheading based on the specific chemical composition of your shipment to avoid customs delays.
