HS-6 · Subheading
282570
Molybdenum 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 282570 when importing or exporting molybdenum oxides and hydroxides, such as molybdenum trioxide. For example, if you're shipping a bulk container of molybdenum oxide for use in steel manufacturing, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers molybdenum oxides, which are important in various industrial processes, including catalysts and alloy production. In contrast, HS-6 2825XX might cover other metal oxides that do not include molybdenum.
When classifying your product, remember that molybdenum hydroxides are also included under this code. If you have a shipment of ammonium molybdate, you would use HS-6 2830XX instead, which is designated for ammonium salts.
Ensure that your product descriptions specify the form and intended use—whether as a powder, granules, or solution—as this can affect classification and compliance.
