282110

Iron oxides and hydroxides

Heading 2821Iron oxides and hydroxides; earth colours containing 70% or more by weight of combined iron evaluated as Fe2o3

Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 282110 when importing or exporting iron oxides and hydroxides, such as red iron oxide pigment used in paints or coatings. This code specifically applies to products containing 70% or more by weight of combined iron evaluated as Fe2O3.

This HS-6 line narrows down the broader category of inorganic chemicals under Chapter 28. While HS-6 282110 focuses on iron oxides, HS-6 282120 covers iron hydroxides, which are primarily used in water treatment and as coagulants.

When classifying under HS-6 282110, consider products like synthetic iron oxide pigments used in cosmetics or construction materials. These materials are often sold in bulk or packaged in bags, typically weighing 25 kg or more.

If you're dealing with iron oxide in a non-pigment form, such as iron oxide used for magnetic applications, you may need to look at different HS codes. Ensure your product's composition aligns with the specifications of this subheading.
