HS-4 · Heading
2847 — Hydrogen peroxide; whether or not solidified with urea
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2847 when importing hydrogen peroxide, a common chemical used in bleaching, disinfecting, and as an oxidizer in various applications. For example, if you are shipping a 1,000-liter container of liquid hydrogen peroxide for industrial use, this code applies.
When determining whether to use HS-4 2847, consider the state of the product. If your shipment includes hydrogen peroxide solidified with urea, it still falls under this heading. However, ensure that you are not confusing it with other chemical compounds that may have similar uses but different classifications.
The sole subheading under this code is HS-6 284700, which covers all forms of hydrogen peroxide, whether in liquid or solidified form. If you are importing a product that contains hydrogen peroxide but is mixed with other chemicals, you may need to look at different HS codes.
