HS-6 · Subheading
281129
Inorganic oxygen compounds; of non-metals, n.e.c. in item no. 2811.2
Heading 2811 — Inorganic acids and other inorganic oxygen compounds of non-metals; n.e.c. in heading no. 2806 to 2810
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 281129 when importing or exporting inorganic oxygen compounds of non-metals that don't fit other specific categories. For example, if you're shipping sodium perborate, this code applies.
This code specifically covers inorganic oxygen compounds not classified elsewhere in the 2811 heading. In contrast, HS-6 281110 is for sodium oxides, while HS-6 281130 includes other similar compounds like sodium percarbonate.
When dealing with substances like sodium metasilicate or potassium peroxymonosulfate, HS-6 281129 is the right choice. It’s crucial to distinguish these from other inorganic acids and compounds listed under different HS codes.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider the specific chemical composition and intended use. Products like calcium hypochlorite also fall under this category, which is essential for water treatment.
