Carbonates; strontium carbonate
Heading 2836 — Carbonates; peroxocarbonates (percarbonates); commercial ammonium carbonate containing ammonium carbamate
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 283692 when shipping strontium carbonate, a chemical compound often used in ceramics and glass manufacturing. For example, if you are importing strontium carbonate for use in producing specialty glass, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers strontium carbonate, distinguishing it from other carbonates like barium carbonate (HS-6 283691), which is used in different applications such as pigments and glass. Knowing the difference is crucial for proper classification.
Strontium carbonate is a white crystalline powder that can also be found in various forms, including granules or bulk powder. It is commonly used in fireworks and as a colorant in glass and ceramics, which highlights its diverse applications.
When classifying your products, ensure they meet the criteria for strontium carbonate and not other similar compounds. For instance, if you have a mixture that includes strontium but is primarily another carbonate, you may need to consider a different HS code.
