282580
Antimony oxides
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 282580 when importing or exporting antimony oxides, which are often used in flame retardants and glass manufacturing. For instance, a shipment of antimony trioxide used in plastics would fall under this code.
This code specifically addresses antimony oxides, distinguishing them from other metal oxides like those of arsenic or bismuth, which have different HS codes. Understanding this distinction is crucial for proper classification.
Antimony oxides, such as antimony trioxide and antimony pentoxide, are primarily utilized as additives in various industrial applications, including electronics and ceramics. They are typically found in powdered form or as granules.
When considering related codes, HS-6 282590 includes other inorganic bases and metal oxides not specifically classified as antimony oxides. This differentiation can impact duties and regulations, so careful attention is needed.
