Vanadium oxides and hydroxides
Heading 2825 — Hydrazine and hydroxylamine and their inorganic salts; other inorganic bases; other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 282530 when importing or exporting vanadium oxides and hydroxides, such as vanadium pentoxide. This code is essential for shipments intended for use in steel manufacturing or as catalysts in chemical processes.
This HS-6 line specifically covers vanadium oxides and hydroxides, distinguishing them from other inorganic bases like ammonium hydroxide (HS-6 281510) or metal oxides such as titanium dioxide (HS-6 282310). Understanding these differences is crucial for correct classification.
Vanadium oxides, primarily used in metallurgy and chemical synthesis, can be found in various forms, including powders or granules. They are often packaged in bulk containers or sealed bags, depending on the quantity and end-use.
When shipping vanadium hydroxide, ensure that the product is clearly labeled and that the packaging meets safety standards, especially if it is intended for industrial applications. This helps avoid customs delays and ensures compliance with regulations.
