Bromides; of sodium or of potassium
Heading 2827 — Chlorides; chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides; bromides and bromide oxides; iodides and iodide oxides
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 282751 when importing or exporting sodium or potassium bromides, commonly used in photography and chemical processes. For example, a shipment of potassium bromide used in a developer solution would fall under this code.
This HS-6 specifically covers bromides made from sodium or potassium, distinguishing them from other bromides like those derived from ammonium or calcium, which fall under different HS codes. If you’re dealing with ammonium bromide, you would need to look at HS-6 282752 instead.
When classifying your product, consider the end-use. Sodium bromide is often utilized in water treatment, while potassium bromide is frequently found in pharmaceuticals. Understanding these applications can help clarify which HS code to use.
Bromides can also be found in various forms, such as powders or solutions. Ensure that your product description accurately reflects the form and intended use to avoid misclassification.
