Hydrogen
Heading 2804 — Hydrogen, rare gases and other non-metals
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 280410 when importing or exporting hydrogen gas, typically in pressurized cylinders or as a component in chemical processes. For instance, a shipment of hydrogen gas for fuel cells would fall under this code.
Hydrogen is classified under the broader heading 2804, which includes rare gases and other non-metals. This heading distinguishes hydrogen from other non-metals like nitrogen or oxygen, which are classified under different codes.
When looking at HS-6 280410, it specifically covers hydrogen in its gaseous form, whether pure or in mixtures. This is different from HS-6 280420, which pertains to other non-metal gases like helium or neon.
If you're dealing with hydrogen in bulk for industrial applications or as a fuel source, ensure you're using the correct packaging and labeling to comply with safety regulations.
