HS-4 · Heading

3824 — Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included

Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3824 when importing prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores, such as a shipment of resin-based binders used in metal casting. This heading covers various chemical products and preparations not specified elsewhere, making it crucial for accurate classification.

When determining the right HS-6 code under 3824, consider the specific product characteristics. For example, 382410 is for prepared binders specifically for foundry moulds, while 382430 is for non-agglomerated metal carbides. If your product is a mixture of these components, you may need to look at the mixtures under 382481 to 382489.

If your shipment includes additives for cements or mortars, you should reference 382440. This line is distinct from 382450, which covers non-refractory mortars and concretes. Understanding these distinctions can help avoid misclassification and potential customs issues.
