HS-6 · Subheading
283719
Cyanides and cyanide oxides; other than of sodium
Heading 2837 — Cyanides, cyanide oxides and complex cyanides
Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 283719 when importing or exporting cyanides and cyanide oxides that are not sodium-based. For example, if you're shipping potassium cyanide for use in electroplating, this is the correct code.
This code specifically applies to cyanides and cyanide oxides other than those derived from sodium, such as potassium cyanide or calcium cyanide. In contrast, HS-6 283710 covers sodium cyanide, which is used in different applications.
Cyanides classified under this code are often used in mining, electroplating, and chemical synthesis. If you’re dealing with a product like calcium cyanide, you’ll want to ensure you’re using HS-6 283719 for accurate customs documentation.
When considering related products, be aware that HS-6 283720 includes complex cyanides, which have different chemical properties and uses. Ensure you classify your product correctly to avoid customs issues.
