Copper oxides and hydroxides

Heading 2825Hydrazine 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 282550 when importing or exporting copper oxides and hydroxides, such as cupric oxide or copper(II) hydroxide. These compounds are often used in ceramics, pigments, and as catalysts in various chemical processes.

This code specifically covers copper oxides and hydroxides, distinguishing them from other metal oxides under the same heading, like those of iron or zinc. For instance, if you're dealing with iron oxide, you would use a different code.

Copper oxides can appear as black or red powders, while copper hydroxides typically present as blue or green solids. Understanding the specific form and application of these compounds is crucial for correct classification.

If you are unsure whether your product fits this code, consider the chemical composition and intended use. Products like copper oxide nanoparticles or copper hydroxide used in agriculture would also fall under this classification.
