HS-6 · Subheading
283010
Sulphides; of sodium, whether or not chemically defined
Heading 2830 — Sulphides; polysulphides whether or not chemically defined
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 283010 when importing or exporting sodium sulphides, which are often found in industrial applications like paper manufacturing or water treatment. For example, a shipment of sodium sulphide in 25 kg bags for use in dyeing processes would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers sodium sulphides, distinguishing them from other sulphides like those of potassium or calcium, which are classified under different HS-6 codes. If you are dealing with sodium polysulphides, you will need to refer to other classifications within the same heading.
Sodium sulphides can appear in various forms, including anhydrous and hydrated forms. When classifying, consider the specific chemical composition and intended use, as these factors can influence the proper HS code.
If you are unsure whether your product fits into HS-6 283010 or a neighboring code, such as HS-6 283090 for other sulphides, review the chemical properties and consult with a customs broker for clarification.
